Categories     Onions

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 1/4 cups orzo pasta
3 cups chicken broth
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup fresh parsley
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Brown orzo in 3 tablespoons butter, stirring often until pasta is toasted and golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth to orzo and cook until pasta is tender. You could drain pasta, but I like to cook it down a little more and leave it creamy.
  • While pasta is cooking, saute onions and garlic cloves until onions are soft and translucent.
  • Add onions and garlic, toasted pine nuts, and fresh parsley to orzo. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • You could serve straight away, or you could leave it in a warm oven until the rest of your meal is ready!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover orzo. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this dish was a disaster. The orzo was mushy and the flavors were all wrong.

This dish was too oily for my taste. I used less olive oil and it was still plenty flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the orzo was undercooked. I had to cook it for an extra 5 minutes.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I'm not a huge fan of orzo, but this dish changed my mind. The toasted orzo was so flavorful and the pine nuts added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used whole wheat orzo and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a little extra flavor.

This orzo dish was a hit! The toasted orzo added a nice nutty flavor, and the pine nuts gave it a little crunch. I also loved the addition of the lemon zest and feta cheese. It really brightened up the dish. I will definitely be making this again!
