*Ladies, I know this sounds funky but it is delicious! Everyone I have ever served this to gobbles it up.

For a side dish, I like to have a side dish full of veggies as well as including a carb. I am all about one pot dishes. :)

Orzo & Veggies

3/4 c chopped onion

4 garlic cloves, chopped

2 T olive oil

2 c orzo

1 3/4 c chicken broth

1 c spinach, chopped

1 t lemon juice

1 bunch green onions, chopped

1 1/2 t dill, chopped

any other veggies you'd like to add such as: zucchini, carrot, peas, etc.

Saute onion and garlic (& other veggies) in oil, add orzo and brown. Add broth, cover and cook until orzo is almost cooked (you may need to add more water). Toss spinach, lemon juice, green onions and dill in orzo. Remove from heat. Mix with salt and pepper, cover and let rest 1-2 minutes. Serves 4-6.

ENJOY!!!

Well Done!!!

Great Idea and nice job setting this up! Let me be the first to post saying I love the name! Ha Ha!!! I am a bit behind I think in making the recipe but it will be made tomorrow night! I am very excited to try this! If everyone likes the meat/fruit combo I have made a Rhubarb chutney with chicken or pork and it is very tasty! my guess is that it is along the same lines as this will be!
