Crystal S. Rating: 4 stars. Very good recipe with marvelous flavor. Hubby said, "Too much cheese"--yet cleaned his plate. Just delicious. This is a yummy recipe! My husband was really impressed. However I had two concerns Do not leave it unattended on the stove or it might scorch. Also this must be served immediately or it gets very clumpy and hard to spoon out of the pan.
I added a little olive oil and kept the heat on low and it helped this a bit. Overall this is a great side dish and a big hit with the family. I will cook it again soon. I also added a chopped tomato and pine nuts after the broth was absorbed.
I kept some extra chicken broth heated so that i could mix right before serving the mix tends to dry out over time Shea Failmezger. I loved this recipe! I made a few changes, but I feel certain, that it would be delicious just as it is written. I used part butter and part olive oil and I sauted minced garlic with the orzo. I then added crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of nutmeg and a good bit of parmesan cheese and ommited the basil.
I also think that for a really fast, but delicious side dish, I would made the recipe just as written, but instead of fresh basil, I would add a couple TBS of pesto! Renee Ridgeway. Love, love LOVE this recipe!!! I'm so excited to have come across this one. It's such an easy recipe to prepare and the result is a restaurant quality dish that your family and friends will be impressed with.
I used freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil and it was heavenly! Such a fantastic flavor! It tasted so good that my husband thought it was complicated and that I'd spent a lot of time on it. So happy to report that wasn't the case! What more could you ask for? Great site keep up the good work. Thanks Roger! Funnily enough, rice cookers are very uncommon in the UK so I've no experience with one, sorry. Definitely worth experimenting though :.

Instructions Method 1: Cooking orzo like pasta Add the orzo to a pan, along with plenty of water enough to generously cover the orzo.
Bring to a gentle boil, and cook for around minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked to your liking. Drain away the excess water, and serve with your choice of sauce. Method 2: Cooking orzo like risotto Add the oil and butter to a frying pan, and place over a medium heat. No need to add cooking oil to the pasta water; adding oil prevents sauces and seasonings from adhering to the orzo.
Boil the orzo about 10 minutes or until it has a firm, chewy texture, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking together. Drain orzo in a colander. For the best flavor and texture, serve the orzo immediately after cooking.
However, if your orzo gets done before the rest of the meal, you can keep it warm by returning the drained and cooked pasta to the warm cooking pan. Stir in a little butter or olive oil to prevent it from sticking together Again, this is best if you're not adding a sauce as the fat prevents sauces from clinging, but it's better than dealing with a brick of cooked orzo!
