Ingredients
For the orzo
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 shallots finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp honey or to taste
- small rosemary sprig
- 4 cups (2 pints) vegetable stock or vegetable broth
- small piece Parmesan rind optional
- 1 ½ cups (255g) orzo pasta
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp sour cream or creme fraiche (full fat)
- 4 tbsp parmesan freshly grated
- 1 tbsp fresh Rosemary finely chopped
To serve
- parmesan freshly grated
- dried chili flakes
- freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Start by browning the butter. Heat a pan over and melt the butter over medium-low heat. Continue to cook, stirring, until it stops foaming and brown specks start to appear. Turn the heat down once the butter turns a little brown and smells nutty .
- Add the chopped shallots and rosemary sprig. Cook, stirring slowly for 5-7 minutes, until the shallots have softened. Stir in the minced garlic and honey and continue to cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add the orzo and stir to coat in the browned butter. Pour in the vegetable broth, stir in the paprika and salt, add the Parmesan rind and bring to a rolling boil (you may need to cover the pan to speed this up). Reduce heat until the orzo is simmering.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring, until the orzo is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in the sour cream and grated Parmesan until the orzo is super-creamy.
- Stir in the chopped rosemary and lemon zest. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve with extra grated Parmesan, freshly ground pepper and chili flakes. So freakin’ yummy!
