Рецепт Roasted Spring Vegetable Orzo
Roasted Spring Vegetable Orzo
It had been several weeks since I received my last CSA basket. I was so excited to be waking up to my box of produce.
I trudged out of bed, and headed to the front door to grab the box. But when I opened the door there was no box. I was so disappointed It’s usually delivered in the wee hours of the morning. I checked at 7:00 a.m. when I woke up and again, when the hubby left for work an hour later.
Now I have no idea when it arrived, but somewhere between 8:00 a.m. and when Melissa showed up after class around 11:00 a.m.
But I was thrilled that it arrive and poured over the box of goodies. What a relief it was because I really counting on some fresh produce for the next several days. My basket contained lots of Spring vegetables.
I decided to roast them and serve them on top of orzo.

Yes, this was a delicious vegetarian meal that I truly enjoyed.
I love how easy it is to make orzo. So much easier that risotto. You don’t need to baby sit it as much.
I can’t believe I survived this long without the abundance of my fresh door to door produce.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
