Most people immediately think of rice when they hear the word pilaf. But pilaf is simply a method of cooking that works well for grains as well as certain pastas, such as orzo or couscous. For this easy side, we’ve cooked orzo with aromatics until tender and fluffy and topped it with creamy goat cheese.

Directions

Cook 3 chopped shallots and 1 tablespoon chopped thyme in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon each butter and olive oil over medium-high heat, 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup orzo and toast 2 minutes. Add 1 3/4 cups water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat, cover and cook until the orzo is tender, 12 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup chopped parsley and top with goat cheese.
