Скачать или смотреть Broccoli Sausage Orzo (Orzo Pasta cu Broccoli si Carnati Afumat) | Quick and Easy | 30 Minute Meals

This recipe is so easy I never intended to make a video out of it. However, we all need inspiration for quick, yet wholesome homemade meals in the middle of the week when time is not on our side. I hope you give it a try. Let me know in the comments how it turned out or any questions that you might have about this recipe, any other one, or just random questions.

RECIPE
Ingredients:
½ large onion, chopped
3 medium carrots, chopped
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 large or 2 regular links of smoked sausage (I used smoked Kielbasa)
2 tbsp. oil, divided
2 cups orzo pasta
2 cups water
2 cups chicken stock/broth
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups trimmed broccoli florets
Directions:
1. Chop all veggies. This can also be done in advance and reserved in the fridge until you start making this recipe.
2. Add 1 tbsp. oil to large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat.
3. Add chopped sausage and sauté until browned to your liking (we like things quite brown in this household, even charred if they’re still edible). Remove to plate.
4. Add the rest of 1 tbsp. oil to pot.
5. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. You will see the onion juices starting to deglaze the brown bits that were left from the sausage. Yummy stuff.
6. Add sliced garlic and allow to become aromatic, about 30 seconds.
7. Mix in chopped carrots. Give them 2 minutes to soften up slightly.
8. Add chopped bell pepper and mix to combine. Salt and pepper liberally.
9. Mix in orzo, water and stock, bring to a soft boil, cover with lid and allow to boil for 5 minutes.
10. Remove lid and mix with wooden spoon to make sure orzo isn’t sticking to the bottom.
11. Add 4 cups broccoli florets and the cooked sausage. Mix with orzo until combined. Taste orzo and check for doneness. It should take about 8-9 minutes for it to cook perfectly. You don’t want to leave it too long, otherwise you will end up with a mushy mess.
12. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
13. Enjoy!

May God bless you today!
