How to Make Orzo | Allrecipes

Do YOU know what Orzo REALLY is? This unique dish is a thin, oval, rice-shaped pasta that can be used in various Italian-inspired dishes. In Italy, orzo is classified as pastina or "little pasta," and it's typically incorporated in soups. However, you can also use it in any number of pasta dishes or grain bowls where its petite size may come in handy. Tune in to this episode of You Can Cook That where Nicole gives us a breakdown on Orzo pasta and shows us her tips and tricks for making it.

I had weight loss surgery several years ago and have not been able to eat rice since that time. I have really missed many of my beloved rice recipes but found that orzo is the perfect substitute for rice. Am looking forward to my traditional "rice" pudding at Christmas!

Been eyeing orzo for a while so bought a box yesterday. Can't wait to try the orzo risotto - I love risotto but never made it with orzo! Look great.

Back sometime in the mid-nineties, my aunt – a vegetarian – took me to dinner. The menu listed a dish of orzo with rabbit ragu. I asked her if she would mind if I ordered it. She said that she had no problem with it.

When the plate arrived, it was a pile of orzo and rabbit, with two sage leaves sticking out of the top, so as to resemble bunny ears.

My aunt looked at me and said, “take those off right now!”

These recipes look awesome- I made some for dinner. The way I made mine was I boiled them for about 5-7 minutes with water, butter, and salt. In a pan I sautéed onions and multi colored peppers. I added butter and a bit of vegeta it’s a spice. I drained the orzo and rinsed it with a little bit of cold water. Next I added it to the onion and pepper mixture and added a bit more butter- my husband loved it. I made tenderloin garlic Parmesan turkey slices on the side.😋

That looks so good. I’m allergic to wheat/gluten. What type of grain is this?

I accidentally put orzo in the rice cooker instead of rice, and it came out perfectly aldente on the white rice setting. It did stick together, but the sauce I was adding it too was rather liquidy ( not overly so, it wasn't exactly soup ) and it split right back up again. It turned out excellent, even if I thought I was using rice at the time.
