Orzo Pizza

Cooking time:  50 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

       Not quite a 'spaghetti pie'; not quite a pizza; but easy, quick and fills the cravings for either.

Orzo Pizza

Total time: 50 minutes
            I've used brown rice for a 'crust' but I was looking for something a bit different.  Orzo cooks in 15 minutes, and when done 'risotto' style is a bit sticky.  Perfect! I used salami, but pepperoni, ham or chicken would also be good.
