Vegetable Orzo image

This is a flavorful side dish. I usually serve it with roasted chicken or Italian sausages. Makes plenty so there is some leftover for lunch.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (14 ounce) cans italian seasoned chicken broth
1 1/2 cups dried orzo pasta
3 tablespoons butter
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 fresh garlic clove, finely minced
chopped fresh parsley (a generous handful)
salt and pepper
1/2 fresh lemon
parmesan cheese
extra virgin olive oil (I use about a tablespoon)

Steps:

  • Cook orzo in chicken broth until tender (add water if necessary).
  • Sauté the the vegetables in butter until tender adding the garlic near the end to prevent burning.
  • This is where I usually add a little salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  • Drain the orzo and combine with the cooked vegetables and add the chopped parsley.
  • The heat of the other ingredients will wilt the parsley.
  • Stir in the juice of the 1/2 lemon and olive oil if desired.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan.
  • Enjoy.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! The orzo was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still crisp-tender. I will definitely be making this again.

This vegetable orzo was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and packed with flavor. I especially loved the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese.
