Yield Makes 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
3 ounces pancetta (Italian bacon), chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup chopped shallots (about 4)
1 cup shelled fresh peas or frozen petite peas, thawed
5 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon Sherry wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook orzo in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, sauté pancetta and chopped shallots in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown, about 4 minutes. Add peas and 4 tablespoons chopped dill; stir to coat. Add chicken broth and boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add Sherry wine vinegar; boil 1 minute. Add orzo to skillet; stir to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to medium bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon chopped dill. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would make it again, but I would make a few changes.

The orzo was a bit overcooked for my liking. I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on it next time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of pancetta next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peas, but I loved this dish! The dill and pancetta really balanced out the flavor of the peas.
