First time making orzo, I doubled it to make sure I had enough for everyone. I added some fresh lemon juice for an extra kick and some fresh rosemary. -
Thumbs up! Very easy to put together and very flavorful. This is a great alternative to those high sodium boxed rice mixes. I actually made this with rice instead of orzo--Next time I will use orzo. -
Very easy to make, delicious! Lends itself well to lots of variations -- I can see adding different herbs to give new twists.
