Orzo Mozzarella, Tomato & Herb salad

To change things up, I thought I would use Orzo, which is a form of short-cut pasta, shaped like a large grain of rice.  It can be served alone, as a soup accompaniment, as part of a salad, or baked in a casserole windows live movie maker nederlands downloaden.  Orzo is the Italian word for “barley” however, it’s not made from barley at all, but rather from semolina, a course-ground flour made from durum wheat android onedrive datei herunterladen.  In Italy, the word can of course refer to the grain itself, but might also describe a beverage made from roasted barley or a wheat-based pasta that looks like barley filme downloaden legal.  Because of orzo’s similar shape and mild flavor, it can be substituted for rice in many recipes.  Ounce for ounce, rice and orzo contain similar amounts of fat, sugar, carbohydrates and even sodium utorrent gratis downloaden windows 10.

This is a simple, but delicious salad that tasted great even on the second day, because the flavors had really blended well.
