This barley The recipe is really easy and quick to prepare. Well then I'm actually done convincing you, right? This spicy Greek tomato risotto with orzo is a derivative of a Greek classic. Namely tomato rice, only we don't use rice but orzo for this. That is a type of pasta that resembles rice. But it really is pasta. And you can make a kind of risotto out of it. It is a delicious side dish with, for example, a stifado. We make the pasta in a spicy tomato broth. The orzo completely absorbs the flavor of this stock. Keep stirring while cooking. Then you also become a bit zen. Orzo recipes tomato risotto recipe
