Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 cup finely chopped onion

2 cloves garlic -- crushed

2 cups vegetable broth

2 tablespoons soy sauce -- (reduced sodium or regular)

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/16 teaspoon pepper

1 cup orzo -- uncooked

 

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic.

Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender, about 4 minutes. Add

small amounts of water as necessary, about a tablespoon at a time to

prevent sticking.

 

Add remaining ingredients, except orzo. Bring mixture to a boil, then

stir in orzo. Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and cook 15 minutes,

until the liquid has been absorbed.

 

Fluff with a fork before serving.

Serving Ideas : This makes a perfect side dish to serve alongside a bean

casserole, baked tofu, or a veggie burger. This recipe can also be used

to serve three people as a entree and only needs a salad and some

steamed vegetables to make a quick, filling dinner.

 

NOTES : Serve again hint: Heat the leftovers in clear vegetable broth,

and you have a delectable noodle soup.
