- Ingredients:
-
1 and 1/2 cups orzo (10 oz)
3 tablespoons pine nuts
One (14-oz) can whole artichoke hearts (not marinated)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
Directions:
Cook orzo in a 4 to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water until 'al dente'.
Drain in a colander.
While the orzo is cooking, lightly toast pine nuts in a dry small skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool 1 minute, then coarsely chop.
Drain artichoke hearts in a large sieve and rinse well.
Pull off leaves from bases of hearts and quarter bases.
Rinse leaves and bases well, then drain thoroughly.
Stir together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Add orzo, pine nuts, artichokes (leaves and bases), parsley, and zest and toss to combine. Makes 4 side-dish servings.
That's it!
