Add, toasted Garlic, spring onions fine sliced, asparagus fine sliced for added taste, broad beans - take the shells off by soaking in hot water 1 min.. adds to the overall texture. The Orzo should not be refreshed under cold water, loss of starch to hold the dish, timing is everything, so do not…

This was surprisingly good. I made it as we had lots of broad beans in the garden. I double podded them which took forever but they did taste good and were a lovely bright green colour. I served it with fish and baked tomatoes. I would make this again.

Thought this was really bland. Tried to liven it up with pesto but ended up tossing it into the bin. Disappointed

You can add many other items to improve, depending taste.. Give it more lemon and cheese....

I bet this is lovely with orzo but mine needed to be gluten free today so I used rice instead. Podding peas and broad beans took me back in time but actually frozen are probably better... and certainly quicker.
