Ingredients
- 1 jar (15 ounces) Aunt Nellie’s Holland-Style Onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup reduced-sodium, fat free chicken or vegetable broth
- 3/4 cup uncooked orzo pasta

- Shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Additional chives or green onions (optional)
Directions
Makes 4 servings.
- Drain onions; reserve liquid.
- In large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium-low heat until hot. Add garlic; cook 1 to 2 minutes to soften, stirring frequently (do not brown).
- Add broth and 1/2 cup onion liquid to skillet; bring to boil. Stir in orzo. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered about 12 minutes or until orzo is just al dente, stirring frequently. (Add additional onion liquid 1 tablespoon at a time as needed if mixture seems too dry during cooking.)
