ORZO, SPRING MEDLEY

SMO-10

Description:

Temporarily Unavailable...  Spring Blend Orzo is a combination of herbs and spices, giving it fresh flavor! Orzo is made with Durham Wheat Flour (Semolina) which makes it a pasta. The Orzo is 1/3" long and rice shaped. The toothy, firm texture and subtle flavors lend its use to many different applications. Orzo maintains its shape and color dulls slightly when cooked. Traditionally, Orzo has been used with rice to make Pilaf. Orzo like many kinds of pasta has become a flexible and versatile ingredient. Orzo in Italian this means "barley." Since pasta doesn't contain any Barley the name is probably in reference to the shape of Orzo. Pasta has been a mainstay ingredient in Italian cooking for centuries. Orzo is just one of the many shapes developed for specific uses. It's actually a tiny, rice-shaped pasta, slightly smaller than a Pine Nut. Orzo is ideal for soups and wonderful when served as a substitute for rice. 

Ingredient Statement:

Durum Semolina Flour (milled wheat, niacin, iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid) Water, Chives, Wheat Gluten, Lemons and Natural Lemon Flavor, Parsley, Leeks, Granulated Onion, Natural Coloring, Pepper, Salt, Spices for Coloring. (Contains Wheat, Gluten)

This colorful Orzo makes a beautiful bedding for chicken, fish, and seafood. The light flavor makes it a delicious addition to soups. Make a colorful salad with mandarin oranges, pineapple, pine nuts, and a light vinaigrette, or try something spicy by adding black beans, corn, onions, and a dressing of your choice.

Recommended Preparation Instructions:

Add 1 cup of orzo to 2 cups of rapidly boiling water or stock. Return to boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 10 minutes until tender yet still al dente. Remove from heat and let stand for 3-5 minutes. Add uncooked orzo to soup or stew during the last 12 minutes of cooking.

One cup dry yields 2½ – 3 cups cooked.
