Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 jar (6 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and blotted
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 large basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound orzo
3/4 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
10 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and sliced into thin strips
1/4 cup minced chives
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Coarsely chop all but 4 artichoke hearts; set aside hearts. Place remaining hearts in a blender. Add vinegar, shallot, garlic, mustard, basil and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Turn on blender and slowly add oil until dressing is emulsified; set aside. Add orzo to boiling water and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta and then rinse under cold water. Drain again and transfer to a bowl; add crabmeat, cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, chives, parsley, reserved artichoke and dressing; toss. Divide among 4 plates. Leftovers are also delicious chilled.

This was a delicious and easy weeknight meal. The orzo cooked up quickly and the crab and artichoke added a lot of flavor. I served it with a side salad and some crusty bread.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crab and artichoke are a great combination and the orzo cooks up perfectly. I usually add a little extra lemon juice and some chopped fresh parsley at the end. Yum!
