Orzo Garden Medley Recipes

ORZO GARDEN MEDLEY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of broth to a boil, cook orzo over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
• In a large skillet, add oil and all the veggies, garlic and spices, sauté for a couple of minutes, add 1/2 cup of broth and cook about 4 minutes.
• Drain orzo, place in a serving bowl and add in veggies and toss to combine.
• Sprinkle grated cheese on top, optional.
• Note: to make this a vegetarian dish, substitute the chicken broth for a veg broth.

ROASTED VEGETABLE ORZO MEDLEY

Steps:

• PreHeat Oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut up all vegetables and place on baking sheet.
• Pour Olive Oil and Italian dressing on vegetables (may use more to cover all).
• 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!
