This dish is so simple to put together and is perfect as a side for the holidays! Honestly, if it becomes the main attraction - I would understand because it is just that delicious.
If you don’t know about Orzo pasta, it is shaped like rice or barley. It is super versatile and can be used in hot dishes or cold dishes, especially salads. Many people (like me) love it because it feels like a perfect combination of rice and pasta, and it is ideal for this dish.
This Asun Orzo almost feels like a salad because of the vegetables and protein in it - if anyone asks, tell them it is a warm salad, okay?
