Great side, gets done in under 30 min from start to finish. Will do again!
The flavor was light, fresh and delicious! If I wasn't watching my calories, I would have shredded some fresh Parmesan or Asiago on top! Great side dish!
Very good. Make again.
I made this tonight and will definitely make it again. I enjoyed the flavor and how the liquids were the correct amount, so the orzo and rice were tender and there was no extra liquid or gummy area at the bottom of the pot. Best of all, the recipe uses ingredients that I usually have on-hand. This will be a good recipe to use in the spring, when herbs are growing in the garden, for years to come.
Didn't have garlic to slice; used minced. Still good, but was missing something.
I have made this several times it is very tasty.

I really enjoy this side dish and make it often. I add about a 1/4 up of shredded romano cheese for some creamy flavor punch. Super easy to make.
