This is another recipe from Elly Says Opa. I have only made orzo a couple of times, but it is quickly becoming one of my favorite side dishes. The orzo, paired with the pork milanese and green beans, made for an excellent dinner.

Parmesan-Pecorino Orzo

• 8 oz. orzo
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2.5 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup pecorino or Parmesan cheese (I used about 1/4 cup of each, oink oink!)

Heat butter until melted. Add garlic and saute until fragrant.

Stir in orzo and coat in the butter, toasting slightly, for a couple of minutes.

Stir in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until done, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Off the heat, stir in the cheese. I added about 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
