I decided to try something different than the artichoke torte I usually make with eggs. I’m sure there is a similar greek recipe for this but here is my version. It’s perfect for a week night.
3/4 bag frozen artichoke hearts from Whole Foods. Defrosted in microwave 1-2 minutes.
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped onion
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup orzo
1 cup chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
chopped parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
1 T butter
squeeze half lemon
pinch of oregano
Melt butter and add oilve oil to a deep fry pan
Add onions and artichokes and stir
Add garlic and salt and pepper
Add chicken broth and stir, Heat for five minutes
Add orzo and stir, cook until done.
Add juice lemon
Add parsley, more salt to taste
Serve with parmesan and crusty bread
(Recipe can be converted to soup with less orzo and more broth.)
