HelloFresh Orzo Recipe

This HelloFresh orzo dish is rich, velvety, and packed with ingredients that come together AMAZINGLY!
Toasting the orzo in a little butter before adding the liquid gives it a deeper, nuttier taste.
I make sure to stir the orzo constantly in the first few minutes of cooking to keep it from clumping and to help it absorb flavors evenly.
If the orzo starts sticking before it’s fully cooked, a small splash of water or broth will loosen it right up without throwing off the consistency.
