Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

   In a large casserole dish, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2. 2

   Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

   Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the casserole. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Orzo

   Add the orzo to the tomato mixture, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente.

4. 4

   Add Seafood

   Gently fold in the shrimp, calamari, and mussels into the orzo mixture. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil, and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels have opened.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
