Orzo with Everything

Orzo with Everything

A big thank you to Sarah for sharing this with us.  We made this for a potluck and it went over really well.  We have made it several times since then, since we all love orzo so much.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups orzo
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil- chopped
5 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (maybe a bit more to taste)
1/4 cup kalamata olives- chopped

The rest.
1 cup radicchio- finely chopped
1/2 cup pine nuts- toasted on stovetop over medium heat, stirring constantly
1/2 cup fresh basil- chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
lightly garnish with grated parmesan

Method

Cook and drain orzo and put in a large bowl.  Add tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and olives.  Toss and let stand till cool.

When cool, add the rest.

Notes

We have also tried things like dried cranberries, feta, etc. for variety.
