Savory Pumpkin Orzo
A delicious one pan recipe with pumpkin puree and toasted orzo with caramelized onions.
Equipment
- 1 pan (at least 3 inches deep)
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup orzo
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/2 tsp dried sage
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup gruyere cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for topping)
- 3 tbsp bacon crumbles
Instructions
- Place a pan of at least 3 inches deep on the stove. Combine chicken broth & pumpkin puree. Whisk well. Set aside.
- Saute onions on medium heat in a little bit of butter and olive oil. Once the onions start to brown, add the orzo, and reduce the heat to low.
- Saute orzo and onions until it's golden brown with a slight toast. Add salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and sage to the orzo. Stir well.
- Add in the pumpkin/chicken broth liquid, and place a lid on the pan. Stir about every 3-4 minutes to avoid sticking to pan.
- Add 1/2 cup cheese to cooked orzo, and stir it well.
- Once orzo is cooked throughout, top with remaining cheese and bacon. Serve warm and enjoy!
