Orzo

[snowwhite]

Do you cook with it? If so, what sort of thing?

[sprite]

i can't help. i didn't look carefully, and thought orzo was a greek island.

[elliedee]

I use it instead of rice in risotto recipes.

[kraken]

I've mixed it in with rice, or in lieu of pasta with Greek sauces.

[Bastet]

As I don’t know what it is - I don’t think I’m using it. :-)

I would like to visit the beautiful island of Orzo, its white buildings hanging off the clifftops, glistening in the blinding sun.

It's like rice-shaped pasta. I don't use it because it gets trapped in the holes in the colander and is a pain in the ass. You can use it any way you'd use tiny little pasta, stick it in soup, use it in a cold salad, etc.

It's the same thing as risoni, right?

I have a few good winter casserole type dishes that use risoni. And there was a roasted chicken that you do in a tomato and stock mixture and then put the risoni in when the chook is nearly done for a wonderful one pot dinner.

If it had a u instead of an r, you could drink it.

[Phoenix]

I put it into thin soups of different kinds.

I've seen it in recipes to use like risotto. which i've been meaning to try but I only recently spotted it in the shop for the first time.
