Ingredients

Directions

  • Grab a 3-quart pot and melt one stick of butter over medium high heat.
  • Add the orzo pasta and stir frequently until it’s lightly browned. Once the butter begins to look foam-like in appearance, add the rice and water. Bring everything to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the rice and pasta are tender. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinaigrette, fresh squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, salt and cracked black pepper. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm (not hot) rice / orzo mixture, sliced jubilee olives, sliced cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, roughly chopped marinated artichoke hearts, and freshly chopped parsley.
  • Season with salt and cracked black pepper.
  • Drizzle with oil and vinegar mixture. Toss well.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese pearls, serve and enjoy.
