Tips for Cooking Orzo:
Cook orzo like pasta, in plenty of boiling salted water.
Drain well, but don't rinse, unless you're making a cold salad.
Orzo absorbs flavours beautifully, so don't be afraid to experiment with herbs and spices.
A lot of these recipes are actually one-pan orzo recipes, meaning you don't even need to cook the orzo first!
