Thursday Afternoon

Yeah, yeah, yeah.......... I haven't blogged in a while...... partly due to the fact that I've been eating (somewhat) boring leftovers and partly because I've had a couple of nights off having dinner with friends.

Anyway, my latest obsession is orzo...... I saw a video online about orzo and thought that I'd want to try it! I initially made the recipe as per online but it called for the addition of red pepper flakes - the result was that I was running for the TUMS!!!!! The next time I modified the recipe I omitted those and cut down the liquid also. The deal was, I wanted to have something that I could put into a SS mold (individual, about 3") and bake in the oven so that when it was served, it would result in a small, cake-like structure.

The result was good but I'm gonna modify the liquid a little more and add some lemon zest at the end to give it a little 'freshness' (because I intend to serve this with some sea bass.

I'll let you know how it comes out!
