Browned Butter Orzo


By Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker (Visit website)



Have you ever looked in a cupboard and had an ingredient just speak to you?  Perhaps it was a bag of chocolate chips or a bottle of curry powder.  Whatever it was, you just knew you had to make something with it immediately.  That's what my jar of orzo did last week.  


I wanted it to star in a dish.  Usually orzo co-stars in pilaf or soup or salads, but this time it took center stage. A browned butter stage.  It really was a great combination with the nutty browned butter and the normally shy orzo.   I served it with pork roast and maple carrots.  It was a lovely meal.  


Browned Butter Orzo:

1 pound orzo, cooked according to package directions

1/2 stick butter

2 Tbsp truffle oil

1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

1 Tbsp dried chervil

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp white pepper

Brown the butter in a skillet over medium heat.  Watch out that you don't burn the butter, you just want it a pretty, deep brown.  Lower the heat and add the truffle oil, nutmeg, chervil, salt and pepper.  Heat through and pour over the cooked, drained, but still warm orzo.  Serve immediately.
