Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 pound orzo |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley |
4 plum tomatos, sliced in half, vertically |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
salt and pepper |
4 heads garlic, tops, removed |
1 cup water |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Orzo Pasta:
2. Heat oil and butter in pan. Add 1/2 of orzo and toast until golden brown. Add onion and remaining orzo and saute for 2 minutes. Heat a pot of water and add to the risotto as if you were making risotto, a little at a time, until the pasta is al dente. Finish with additional butter and a small amount of the braising liquid, add chopped parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Roasted Garlic Bulbs:
4. Toss the tomatoes in olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast in a 200 degree F oven for 4 hours. (Re-hydrated sundried tomatoes will work just as well)
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place water and butter in a roasting pan, add garlic heads, cut-side-down, cover and roast for 1 hour.
