Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 7 medium carrots (peeled, and cut into 3-inch lengths (about 1 ¼ cups))
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or light tasting oil of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 1 ½ cups water

  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Place carrots in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until carrots are finely chopped.
  • Add oil and butter to a medium heavy bottomed saucepan, and heat over medium heat. Once oil is hot and butter is melted, add orzo and chopped carrots, and sauté until orzo is golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Add water, broth, and garlic, and cook uncovered over medium-high heat until all liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in Parmesan, green onions, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Taste for seasonings. Serve.
