Ever make Spanish rice? Well, this is somewhat similar. It is a hearty mixture of Spanish, French, and Italian flavors, but uses no rice. It uses orzo instead. It's rib-sticking, fill your tummy with comfort kind of dinner; and it tastes really good. Serve with some simply seasoned white beans, and carnitas, and you have a meal that everyone will enjoy.
Not sure what to call this dish. Ideas are welcome. This recipe is a new creation. Feel free to experiment with it. Maybe we should call it - DC Fusion Creation.
Ingredients:
Heat oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the sausage slices. Stir to lightly brown. Add onion, garlic, chilies, and herbs. Cook until the onions are translucent. Add the olives, celery, and parsley, along with the chicken stock, and barley. Bring to a simmer and cook for ten minutes. Add the tomato, and orzo. Simmer ten more minutes. Stir to distribute all ingredients.
Now I have to be honest. I have only prepared this recipe in my head. However, I have the ability to put together ingredients, in my mind, and taste them before actually making a dish. I know that all of these flavors work well together. You might want to taste, and adjust the seasonings. Enjoy.
