Ingredients
* 6 cups vegetable broth * 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil * 1 large onion, diced * 2 cups orzo * Freshly ground pepper to taste * 1/3 cup chopped fresh mint
# Bring broth to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat.
# Meanwhile, heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add orzo and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
# Add 1 cup simmering broth to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly with a long-handled spoon, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 1 minute.
# Adjust heat as necessary to maintain a simmer. Continue cooking and stirring, adding broth 1 cup at a time, until orzo is tender but still firm, 15 to 20 minutes total. Season with pepper, stir in mint and serve
