This is a great weeknight meal, when all you have is ten minutes and little patience to do anything crazy in the kitchen. All ingredients can be swapped out for other, like-ingredients, so get creative with this one. Enjoy!
Serves 4
- 2 cups dry orzo
- Ham, deli meat and/or bacon (pick a fatty meat if possible as the fat will season the dish)
- Bunch of asparagus chopped into one inch pieces
- Chives, chopped into small pieces
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese to taste
Cook the orzo according to package instructions, drain and set aside. In a pot of boiling water, blanch the asparagus. This should take no more than a minute and the asparagus will turn a vibrant green when ready. In a large frying pan, heat the hameatcon (whatever meat you've chosen) until the fat releases and can coat the pan. Add the asparagus and chives and stir well, coating it with the juices from the meat. Season with salt and pepper. Combine the orzo into the pan and mix well. Remove from heat and divide into four bowls. Add freshly grated parmesan to each bowl.
