RECIPE | Lemon Caper Orzo

Lemon Caper Orzo is a Mediterranean staple. While this recipe may sound like orzo you’ve tried before, the fresh ingredients, small batch olive oil, and the option to serve with smoked honey make this version a delicious must-try.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Rummo No.27 orzo

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

• 2 lemons

• 2 tbsp capers

• 1 tsp Hongar Farms Extra Virgin olive oil

• 1/2 tsp ground fresh pepper

• 1 tsp Nate’s Nectar Smoked Honey (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the ingredients by finely chopping your parsley leaves and discard the stems, slicing 2 lemons and grinding black pepper corns

2. Bring 2 quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan (adding salt at this stage will bring the water to a boil faster)

3. Add the orzo and, if not previously added to the water, the salt

4. Boil for 10-12 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently

5. Drain excess water, leaving no more than 1/3 cup

6. Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, capers, olive oil and pepper to the orzo. Let stand for 2mins until sauce thickens, then serve with a light drizzling of smoked honey
