How to Make Orzo | Allrecipes

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it well.

Stir in the orzo and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente.

For the pilaf method, melt a little butter in a pot.

Saute some aromatics, like garlic and onion, in the butter.

Add the orzo to the pot and sauté it in the aromatics and fat.

Bring water to a boil, then cover and let it simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes.

For risotto, start by sautéing garlic and onion in fat.

Season with salt at the beginning of cooking.

Gradually add unsalted broth to the orzo, stirring until absorbed until it's al dente.

Add frozen green peas and parmesan cheese before serving.
