So when I put orzo on my shopping list that Handsome Son has been taking care of for a while now, I was thinking of the plain white stuff in a cardboard box. He produced this
not being familiar with plain orzo. This is pretty fancy, three colors, three vegetables or something. So I tried a mixture of it and white beans. Okay, not exciting but edible. You did know it's good to boil canned beans a bit to ensure they're tender? I boiled orzo and beans together, 10 minutes, worked fine.
Then I thought this is pretty dull. And today three bean salad happened. Well, three beans plus three color orzo. I didn't have red onions so I minced half a white one, made the dressing with a lovely mature sherry vinegar, olive oil, fresh ground black pepper, sugar. And it's a whole lot more interesting.
And very welcome on a steaming hot day.
