Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 16 ounces orzo
  • 32 ounces chicken or vegetable stock
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped herbs, or 1 tablespoon mixed dried herbs (basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, oregano)

Instructions 

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the orzo and cook for a few minutes, stirring often, so the orzo toasts. Pour in the stock along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the stock to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once or twice so the orzo doesn’t stick to the bottom, until the liquid is absorbed.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese and the herbs. Serve!
