Categories     pastas, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup wild rice
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
3/4 cup orzo
2 tablespoons butter
4 shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced tarragon leaves
2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the wild rice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and simmer, covered, until the rice is tender and the grains begin to pop open, about 45 minutes to an hour. Drain well and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in another saucepan. Add the orzo and boil until the orzo just begins to become tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and cool under cold water. Set aside.
  • When ready to serve, melt the butter in a large saute pan set over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the wild rice and orzo and cook, stirring, until heated through. Add the tarragon and parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for an additional minute. Serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

Followed the recipe but found the flavor to be a bit underwhelming. Maybe next time I'll add some additional herbs or spices to give it more depth.

This recipe is a keeper! The wild rice and orzo are a great base for the flavorful tarragon sauce. I also added some grilled chicken and roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out mushy. Maybe I overcooked the rice? Will try again and be more careful with the cooking times.
