Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2/3 cup orzo
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small Vidalia onion (minced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 Tbsp fresh chives (minced)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Toast the orzo in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently and cook for about 6 minutes or until the orzo is golden brown. Remove the orzo from the skillet and set aside.
  • Melt butter in the empty skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and translucent, which should take about 7 minutes. Stir frequently. When the onion is done, add the garlic, mix to combine and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the toasted orzo, chicken broth, and wine and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for about 15 minutes or until the orzo is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir it frequently.
  • Add the chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, and slivered almonds and stir to combine. Taste and add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
