Up until a couple of weeks ago, I actually had never tried orzo before in my life! I've been on a kick lately though to try new things, so as soon as I saw this delicious-sounding Allrecipes recipe, I wanted to add it to our family's dinner rotation ASAP.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the orzo turned out fantastic and delicious! I mean, in hindsight, I guess that isn't so hard to believe when your ingredients list includes things like "butter" and "parmesan". But I really thought it was a winner, as did my family. When we need a side dish to get us out of a rut, this will absolutely be one of the ones I turn to, and you should too!
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup uncooked orzo
- 1 14.5 oz can chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp dried basil (use fresh if you'd like, just more of it!)
Directions
Stir in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed (about 15-20 minutes).
Mix in parmesan cheese and basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!
Have you ever tried orzo before?
