Spring is here, and it\u2019s the perfect time to infuse your table with the tastes of the Mediterranean. There is nothing more Mediterranean, than fresh, sunny, coastal flavors. Simplicity paired with quality ingredients is the centerpiece of this tasty combination of orzo tossed with tuna, artichokes, sweet pointed red pepper, capers and herbs in a lemon and anchovy dressing. This is a SUPER delicious dish brimming with flavor! It makes for a perfectly, light mid-week dinner, an even more perfect impromptu lunch from the tasty leftovers, or as a delightful side for serving at your next barbecue.<\/p>\n

I rediscovered orzo last year during our escape to Greece. In Greek supermarkets this treasured pasta, which resembles a large grain of rice (called \u201ckritharaki\u201d), can be found in a number of different forms \u2013 just as we find rice here — long cut, short cut, thick cut, whole wheat, the list goes on \u2013 and half a supermarket aisle long.<\/p>\n

I love it for its versatility and compatibility, it\u2019s definitely something I should use more often as it\u2019s a terrific counterpart to the fluffy rice, plus its…well…simply said: cute and delicious. Whether used to make a \u201cfaux\u201d risotto, in a salad, soup or casserole, it\u2019s perfect served hot and or at room temperature and works wonderfully with bold flavors. It enhances anything it\u2019s are paired with and yet it is strong enough to stand alone as a perfect side dish, making the options endless.<\/p>\n

Germany you can find these \u201cReisnudeln\u201d under the name risona if not orzo.<\/p>\n
