A lovely side dish - from What's For Dinner by Maryana Vollstedt. (Note: if you find your orzo sticking to the bottom of the pan after cooking, just remove from the burner and place on a hotpad with the lid on - let it sit about 5 minutes, then stir.)
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
3 green onions, including some tender green tops, sliced
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 cup orzo pasta
2 cups chicken stock
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat melt butter.
2. Add onion and garlic, saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in orzo.
4. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat to low and cook covered until liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
6. Add cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
7. Stir until cheese is melted.
8. Serve.
