Orzo With Artichokes and Pine Nuts image

I love Mediterranian food. My hubby and I went to a Greek restaurant for dinner, and we were served a side dish similar to this. When we got home, Gerald asked if I could recreate the dish. After a few tries, I came up with this recipe. We love it! Hope you enjoy it as well. :) Photos: mine

This recipe was okay. The orzo was cooked well, but the artichokes were a bit tough. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This was a delicious and easy dish to make. I used canned artichoke hearts, which saved time. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a bit of extra flavor. Will definitely make this again!

This recipe was a disaster! The orzo was overcooked and the artichokes were tough. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. However, the orzo was cooked perfectly and the artichokes were tender.
