Drawn through bronze dies and dried slowly, they take on a finely pored, rough surface that broth and sauce cling to. Made from pure durum wheat semolina, they stay firm to the bite even in soup instead of falling apart. In Italy the shape is also called risoni, the little grain of rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrzo is the all-purpose small shape: in clear broths and minestrone, as a warm summer salad with tomatoes, feta and herbs, as a side instead of rice with braises, or cooked creamy in stock like a risotto. It also works in bakes and stuffed vegetables, because the grains take up liquid without going mushy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e orzo cooks considerably faster than long pasta.

That gives a rough surface which takes up sauce instead of letting it run off. Slow air drying at low temperature preserves the aroma and the bite of the durum wheat.

Despite the name, which means barley in Italian, it contains no barley. It is cooked like pasta but used like rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between orzo and rice?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOrzo is pasta made from durum wheat semolina, while rice is a cereal grain. Orzo cooks faster, tastes nuttier of wheat and keeps more bite. As a side dish or in soup you can swap one for the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is orzo good for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor soups and minestrone, warm pasta salads, as a rice substitute with braises and for creamy risotto-style dishes. It also works in bakes and as a filling for peppers or tomatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does bronze die mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pasta is drawn through a bronze die rather than Teflon. That makes the surface rough so it takes up sauce better. With small shapes like orzo it means the broth clings to every grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes orzo contain egg?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo, it consists only of durum wheat semolina and water and is therefore vegan. It does contain gluten from wheat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53803895587082,"sku":"23979","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/5980\/3146\/files\/v4353-084-14_-_media--aa5d92e7--query_91df86ce-9699-440b-909a-512b0873e2bd.webp?v=1790231944","url":"https:\/\/altesgewuerzamt.de\/en\/products\/orzo-pasta-rusticella","provider":"www.altesgewuerzamt.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
