Chef’s note
Here, our chef was inspired by a risotto to create a great creamy orzo. We can find the same great ingredients of a risotto, except for the Arborio rice which was replaced by orzo. Enjoy a simple version, all cooked in the oven: no need to stir for long minutes! Orzo is an Italian pasta shaped like rice that can be easily found in grocery stores. Its pleasant texture is a plus for the new kind of risotto.
