Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a medium skillet.  Add minced shallots, cook 2-3 minutes to soften.
  • Add orzo and toss together to coat. Add a dash each of salt and pepper, then the white wine. Allow to boil and allow to evaporate.
  • Add stock 1/2 cup at a time, allowing to evaporate almost completely, before adding more. Keeping the heat at medium-high, the liquid should be there, but not a lot.
  • At about 10 minutes after adding the orzo, test it to see if it is tender, but with texture, not mushy.
  • Add butter and add some parmesan, allow to melt.  The remaining may be used as a garnish. Set aside, cover to keep warm.  Steam broccoli, then add to orzo.
  • Serve warm, topped with a squeeze of lemon and freshly chopped tomato. Sliced pears on the side.
