Spanish Orzo

Total time: 25 minutes
    Orzo is a versatile rice shaped pasta that is delicious when cooked right in the sauce.  It absorbs the flavors but stays moist.  It's perfect as a base for other foods.

 Ingredients:

• 1 tbs butter
• 1/2 cup (4.5oz, 130gr) orzo
• 1/2 cup (4oz, 120ml) tomato sauce
• 3/4 cup (6oz, 180ml) chicken stock
• 1 tsp oregano
• 8 green olives, sliced

 Instructions

• Melt butter over medium-high heat in small saucepan. 
• Add orzo and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Add stock, tomato sauce and oregano, bring to a simmer on medium heat.
• Turn heat to low and simmer until done, stirring occasionally, 15  - 20 minutes. 
• All stock will be absorbed.  Taste the orzo to see if it's done to your liking.  If not add more liquid. 
• Remove from heat, stir in olives and serve.  This should be creamy, not stiff.
