Orzo Side Dish - cjs - 05-22-2009 I need a quick side dish for tonight - was it Maryann or Cis or _________ who had a great one? not too long ago. Crap, I sure miss my memory. Anyone remember what it was - or I'll just cook some up and start adding, I guess. thanks. Re: Orzo Side Dish - Trixxee - 05-22-2009 I made a lemony orzo dish with those meatballs the other night so it's in that same issue (Feb 09 I think)? Could not be easier. Just cook orzo according to package directions. Then add EVOO, lemon juice, lemon peel, chopped parsley, S&P. I'm making it again this weekend with grilled shrimp. Re: Orzo Side Dish - farnfam - 05-22-2009 We do it with the chix juice and oregeano, topped with parm, but Trixee's sounds better Re: Orzo Side Dish - Mare749 - 05-22-2009 It's probably too late for this today, but this one is really yummy! * Exported from MasterCook * Ricotta Orzo Recipe By : Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/2 pound orzo 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 1/4 cups chopped leeks -- rinsed well 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 cup fresh ricotta 4 strips thick bacon -- cooked and crumbled 1/2 cup whole milk -- warmed 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 Tablespoon chopped dill (or chervil, chives, or parsley) Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil, Add a tablespoon salt and the pasta.

Altho the others are good also. Oh well, dinner was pretty much a blur anyway. One neighbor came home after 4 weeks and wanted to catch up (2 bottles of wine), we left them as another neighbor was coming home and hadn't talk to for so long, another 1 1/2 bottles..... Thank heavens the salad was made or we'd have just had grilled pork chops. Feel pretty good this a.m. tho. |
