ROASTED VEGETABLE ORZO MEDLEY
Got this recipe from my God-Sister on our trip to the beach. It's fabulous. The roasted vegetables gives it a savory taste like you worked all day on it. You can add any vegetable that you like. The mushrooms add something really special and hearty. You can also add sauted chicken or sausage to it. You can also add other spices as well. It looks like rice but it's pasta! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Steps:
- PreHeat Oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut up all vegetables and place on baking sheet.

- Sprinkle veggies with salt and pepper and Cajun Seasoning.
- Roast in oven until soft, usually 45 mins to an hour and 30 mins depending on your oven.
- While veggies are roasting follow the package instructions to cook the Orzo and drain (I start by boiling my water, adding salt and Olive Oil to it, and then adding the Orzo - Doesn't take long to cook. No more than 10mins.)
- When veggies are done remove them from the oven and let them sit to cool off for about 5 minutes.
- Mix Orzo together with the roasted vegetables in casserole dish.
- Serves well hot or cold.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a more flavorful orzo medley, use a flavorful broth, such as chicken or vegetable broth.
- Add some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese to the orzo medley for a cheesy flavor.
- For a more colorful orzo medley, add some chopped fresh vegetables, such as diced bell peppers, chopped carrots, or chopped zucchini.
- If you don't have any frozen peas, you can use fresh peas instead. Just blanch them for a few minutes in boiling water before adding them to the orzo medley.
- For a more hearty orzo medley, add some cooked protein, such as diced chicken, cooked shrimp, or crumbled tofu.

Stovetop orzo medley is a quick and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it simple or loaded with vegetables and protein, orzo medley is a great option for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to take for lunch or to potlucks.
