They soft of nodded in
my direction in between bites, so I suppose that means its edible.
Note: we tried to serve 5 with this recipe and it left us all
wishing for a bit more. With 4 it's your choice. If you like leftovers,
I'd definitely double. I can see no issues with recipe performance.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 cup uncooked orzo
2 cups+ chopped broccoli florets
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese *
3 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
3 Tablespoons grated Gruyere cheese (optional)
2 Tablespoon butter
1/2 cup whole milk (any type will do)
salt & pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS
Add orzo to a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 5
minutes then add chopped broccoli and cook for 4 more minutes,
or until orzo is tender. Drain well then return to the pot. Add
butter and milk, stir until hot, then add cheeses. Add additional
milk if consistency is gummy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add a little spice with crushed red pepper, or thai chile.
NOTES
* I found the Westminster Rustic Red Cheddar from Murrays to
be really good here.
