Orzo with Fresh Rosemary and Lemon
Recipe Type:
Pasta,
Rosemary,
Lemon,
Wine
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 15 min
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon chopped, fresh
rosemary leaves
1 cup chicken stock/broth (or more if needed)
1/2 cup dry white
wine or vermouth
4 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse or sea
salt
1/8 teaspoon fine-grind black
pepper or to taste
Preparation:
In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, sauté orzo in butter, stirring until
lightly browned.
Stir in the rosemary, chicken stock, wine, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; bring
just to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook approximately 15 minutes or
until the liquid is absorbed. NOTE: Checking and stirring
often so orzo does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Check orzo for degree of firmness you like and add additional chicken broth if
needed for further cooking. When done to your likeness, remove from heat and let
stand, covered, 5 minutes.
Makes 4 servings.
