Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 1/2 cups orzo or pearl barley
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
1/2 cup frozen petite green peas
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chiffonade fresh basil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup heavy cream
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute until fragrant and translucent. Add the orzo and toast for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine and cook until absorbed.
  • Gradually add the chicken stock, stirring frequently. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat, and cover. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the liquid is almost absorbed and orzo is tender. Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in peas, Parmesan, fresh basil, lemon zest, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Season the orzo with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

This recipe was a disaster! The orzo was mushy, and the sauce was bland.

The orzo was a bit overcooked for my liking. I would have preferred it to be more al dente.

This was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon.

This orzotto was a delightful surprise! The lemon and basil pair perfectly, and the orzo cooks up perfectly al dente. I added a bit of extra Parmesan cheese, and it was the perfect finishing touch.
