ORZO WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Cook 1 cup orzo as the label directs. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Toss the orzo and cooking water with 2 cups baby arugula, 1/4 cup each chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed) and parmesan, 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon lemon zest; season with salt and pepper.

ARTICHOKES WITH ORZO MACARONI

Steps:

• Trim the stems off the artichokes. Cook the artichokes, covered, in boiling salted water until tender -about 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer will pierce through an artichoke to the bottom of the pot and come away easily, without lifting the artichoke. Drain and cool slightly.
• Using a sharp, thin paring knife, cut out the base of each artichoke, removing both the choke and the heart, producing a round piece about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Scrape out the choke with a spoon. Cut the heart into 1/4-inch slices and reserve. Using a sharp, heavy knife, carefully cut the remaining upper portion of the artichokes in half vertically and arrange the halves around the edge of a large, deep platter, with their insides facing up and their bases toward the center of the platter.
• Put the olive oil and garlic cloves into a large skillet and simmer over low heat until the garlic turns a pale gold, about 5 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegars, sugar, salt and pepper and simmer 2 minutes, mixing well. Add the artichoke heart slices, mix and simmer 2 minutes more.
• Carry the skillet to the serving platter and, using a teaspoon, spoon a bit of the liquid in the skillet into the cup formed by the inside of each artichoke, leaving behind about half of the liquid in the skillet.
• Add the cooked orzo to the skillet, stirring to mix the orzo with the rest of the ingredients. Check the seasoning for salt and for vinegar. Carefully pile the mixed orzo in the center of the platter.

ORZO TOMATO ARTICHOKE SALAD

• Combine cooked orzo, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, olives, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Stir dressing into the orzo mixture until all ingredients are well coated. Can be served warm or chilled.

ORZO WITH ARTICHOKES AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Cook orzo in a 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain in a colander.
• While orzo cooks, lightly toast pine nuts in a dry small skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 1 minute, then coarsely chop.
• Drain artichoke hearts in a large sieve and rinse well. Pull off leaves from bases of hearts and quarter bases. Rinse leaves and bases well, then drain thoroughly.
• Stir together oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add orzo, pine nuts, artichokes (leaves and bases), parsley, and zest and toss to combine.
