Ingredients
-
450 gr Orzo Pasta
5cups low sodium vegetable broth
1 medium red pepper diced into 1/2 inch pieces
1 large yellow bell pepper diced into 1/2 inch pieces
3 med. scallions...fine dice
1 lg celery stalk...diced finely
2 plum tomatoes...diced
1 tbsp Fresh ground black pepper...stirred thru with the
3 tbsp of Zesty Italian Dressing
1 tbsp paprika
Directions
Serviing: 8 - 6oz servings...easily!
Using a 3 litre ( qt ) saucepan, please bring your 5 c of vegetabe stock to a boil & pour in your 450gr ( 1 Lb ) of Orzo Pasta. Reduce heat to med-low after only 2 min & let run...staying covered. Depending on doneness required..let remain on heat up to, but not exceeding 13 additional minutes. ( You'll end up with Mush instead of a salad base ) Orzo should absorb 100% of all liquid.
While still hot, stir thru the Fresh ground black pepper, Zesty Italian Dressing mixture & the finely diced scallions.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes & in that time you'll get all of the other veg diced into size. Add to Orzo Pasta in a large serving dish, mixing through completely. Sprinkle with the 1 tbsp of paprika ( I cheat & use a salt shaker expressly earmarked for this purpose ).
I serve this up with roasted meat or poultry & a chunky potato & green apple salad,dark rye bread & strong coffee.
Enjoy!
