ORZO, PLAIN - Kosher

ORZ-10

Description:

Orzo is made with Durham Wheat Flour (Semolina) which makes it a pasta. The Orzo is 1/3" long and rice shaped. The toothy, firm texture and subtle flavors lend its use to many different applications. Orzo maintains its shape and color dulls slightly when cooked. Traditionally, Orzo has been used with rice to make Pilafs. Orzo like many kinds of pasta has become a flexible and versatile ingredient. Orzo in Italian this means "barley." Since pasta doesn't contain any Barley the name is probably in reference to the shape of Orzo. Pasta has been a mainstay ingredient in Italian cooking for centuries. Orzo is just one of the many shapes developed for specific uses. It's actually a tiny, rice-shaped pasta, slightly smaller than a Pine Nut. Orzo is ideal for soups and wonderful when served as a substitute for rice.

Ingredient Statement:

Durum Semolina Flour, (Flour, Niacin, Ferrous Sulfate, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid). (Contains Wheat, Gluten)

 

 

 

Orzo can be combined with any number of herbs, vegetables and seafood for an unusual and striking plate presentation. Use in Pilafs, salads, sauces or simply dressed with a light pesto.

Recommended Preparation Instructions:

Add 1 cup of Orzo to 2 cups of rapidly boiling water or stock.  Return to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until tender, yet still al dente.  Add uncooked Orzo to soups during the last 10 minutes of cooking. 

One cup dry yields 3 cups cooked.
