One Pot Baked Orzo
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, chopped
1.5 cups vegetable broth
2 cups dry Orzo Pasta
1 can can (794g) whole tomatoes, undrained
2 cups cooked Flourist Kabuli Chickpeas (about 150g dry)
2 tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp (1 mL) red pepper flakes
1.5 tsp salt
Optional: crumbled feta cheese, Kalamata olives
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat the olive oil in a large oven proof Dutch Oven or cast iron pot on the stovetop.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the broth, orzo, tomatoes (and their juice!), cooked chickpeas, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir and bring to a simmer, uncovered.
Remove the pot from the heat. Cover and bake in the pre-heated oven until the liquid has been absorbed and the orzo is soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir and serve directly from the pot with optional crumbled feta and olives. Fresh basil is a wonderful addition in the summer.
This recipe serves 4-6 as a main meal with bread and salad.

Loved this dish. So easy and so flavorful! I usually make alterations but this time stuck to the recipe (sans onion). I happened to have all the ingredients on hand and have been wanting to try your orzo and it did not disappoint. Delish! Will def make again. Thank you!
Making this for the 2nd time, I added garlic and spinach after the bake. It is delicious and hearty, thanks so much for the recipe and the orzo pasta and chickpeas from Florist!
wonderful recipes! balanced, rich with flavor and easy to prepare. kudos to the professional(s) who prepare the food and photograph it for the web!!! thanks for sharing and doing so much for Canadian farmers and your customers’ well-being!
Will penne pasta also work with this recipe? Have your chickpeas on hand, but not the orzo. THANKS!
