- 1/3 cup dried tomato bits (packed without oil)
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 1 tablespoon margarine or butter
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup uncooked orzo
- 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/4 cups frozen English peas
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup evaporated fat-free milk
- Combine tomato bits and hot water in a small bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes or until tender. Add orzo, and saute 3 minutes or until orzo is lightly browned. Add broth, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until broth is absorbed and orzo is tender.
