Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 cup brown basmati rice
1 small onion, chopped
1 pattypan squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (32 ounce) carton Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add orzo and cook and stir until golden brown with a slight nutty aroma, 5 to 7 minutes. Add rice, onion, squash, bell pepper, and red pepper flakes and continue to stir until rice is coated in butter, about a minute.
  • Stir in the Swanson® Unsalted Chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until orzo is al dente and rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in parsley and Parmesan cheese.
