This is a great orzo recipe! However, you do have to like curry. We love curry. I cook the vegetables for a little less time so they are not mushy by the time the orzo is cooked. We also add extra cheese. We love this recipe and always get rave reviews when we serve it at parties.

This is such a tasty side dish! The combination of curry and parmesean sounds really odd, but it works!! Could go with many different dishes. We've made it several times and always love it. Rachael rocks!!

We're not fans of curry so we substituted oregano, the parm cheese gives it the finishing touch YUM Feel free to add your own seasonings to give it the right kick you want. We also added some frozen corn. This will become a quick family favorite and a great way to get some vegetables in the diet.
