I've been looking for a tasty spring time side to serve with fish, shellfish, etc. that wasn't as heavy as risotto or potatoes, but had more heft to it than green beans or asparagus. And here I found the perfect solution. Thanks much Cooking Light! This lemon orzo is super easy! For this meal, I served it with served scallops and steamed asparagus.
Ingredients
Cooking spray
1/2 cup prechopped onion
1 cup uncooked orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; sauté 3 minutes. Stir in pasta, broth, wine, and thyme; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and pasta is al dente. Stir in chopped chives and lemon juice.
yum to anything lemon. this looks good.
