Carrot Orzo

Carrot Orzo (Adapted from Bon Appétit)

6 ounces peeled carrots, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup dry orzo
2 1/4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup water
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary

Add carrots to a food processor - pulse until the carrots are finely chopped.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium. Add orzo and carrots - sauté until orzo is golden, about 5 minutes. Add broth, water and garlic - bring to a high simmer, reduce heat and cook until all liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in cheese, green onions and rosemary. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Makes about 4 servings.
