Recommended Preparation Instructions:

Add 1 cup of orzo to 2 cups of rapidly boiling water or stock. Return to boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 10 minutes until tender yet still al dente. Remove from heat and let stand for 3-5 minutes. Add uncooked orzo to soup or stew during the last 12 minutes of cooking.
