Fancy a culinary journey into Mediterranean spheres? This creamy one pot orzo pasta makes it possible. It is prepared in no time at all, needs only a few ingredients and tastes like a holiday in the home kitchen.
The star of the Blitz recipe: Orzo. He – or rather she – gives the impression of being an innocent grain of rice – but connoisseurs know: “Orzo” or “Risi”, as the product is called in Italy, or “Kritharaki”, as they say in Greece, belongs to genus of pasta. Orzo Pasta doesn’t just seem to be on the road as an undercover agent in terms of form. Because “Orzo” means “barley” – even though it is actually a durum wheat product.
But it doesn’t matter whether it’s orzo, risi or kritharaki, whether barley or durum wheat: Orzo pasta is versatile, delicious and scores with its unique texture, which makes every one-pot dish a creamy risotto-style treat. Orzo cooks much faster in comparison – and speeds up the preparation process even more.
Enough reasons for the orzo pasta – here is the recipe.
