Orzo with Thyme and Lemon Zest

My family loves orzo and so do I. It is cheap, versatile and can be prepared so many different ways.  When I was preparing to have Melissa d’Arabian on Around the Kitchen Sink Radio, I ordered a copy of her new cookbook 10 Dollar Dinners and cooked my way through from cover to cover.  One highlight was this Orzo with Thyme and Lemon Zest or what she liked to call ‘Risotto for busy people’.  It was a light and fresh accompaniment to salmon, fish and grilled meats.  I can’t wait to make this during the warm months with a side of grilled veggies!

  1. Heather, it was such a pleasure listening to you and Melissa chat on ATKS. LOVE the 'alternate title' to this recipe... Risotto for Busy People. :) I planned to make risotto for my Sis when I was visiting, but we ran out of time, lol! Will have to try this orzo recipe... I bet it'd go great with your Skillet Kebobs, too!
