This recipe came from Gourmet Magazine. It's a delicious, light side dish. Great with barbecues!! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sesame seeds |
1 1/2 cups orzo pasta |
1 tablespoon sesame oil |
2 bunches scallions (green onions) |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. In a dry skillet toast sesame seeds until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
2. Boil orzo in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water. Add to sesame seeds.
3. Slice scallions on diagonal into 1 inch pieces.
4. Heat oil in non-stick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking and saute scallions, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Stir scallion mixture into orzo and season to taste with salt and pepper.
