Orzo Risotto

Here we go again. Another base recipe just waiting for your own special touch! Orzo will stand up a little better than the regular arborio rice. It won't get gummy and mushy if you use too much broth. Enjoy!



ORZO RISOTTO

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, minced
4 cloves, garlic, minced
3 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups orzo
1/4 cup parmesan cheeses
1/2 cup minced parsley
*For smaller portions, substitute 1 cup orzo and 2 cups broth

DIRECTIONS
Saute onion and garlic in oil.
In separate pan, heat stock to boiling.
