Fresh Tomato Side

Orzo with Smokey Tomato Vinaigrette

If you find yourself with an abundance of grape/cherry tomatoes, this is a great side dish that's easy and delicious.  I love anything with fresh basil and tomato in combination.  One thing that I find tricky when making an orzo dish is that it tends to stick together.  The fresh tomato vinaigrette keeps the orzo from sticking and makes it nice and creamy.   If only cooking for a few people, I would advise to cut the recipe in half; I didn't so I think that my husband and I will be eating on it for days now.  I didn't have any smoked salt (I'm not sure if I would like it anyway) so a little kosher salt worked well.

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
