Kritharaki Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Cook the Orzo

   Add the orzo pasta to the saucepan and stir to coat in the oil and aromatics. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Add Liquids and Seasonings

   Pour in the vegetable broth and tomato sauce. Add the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Fluff with a fork, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
