Orzo (/ˈɔːrzoʊ, ˈɔːrtsoʊ/,[1][2][3][4] Italian: [ˈɔrdzo]; lit. 'barley'; from Latin hordeum)[5] or risoni is a form of short-cut pasta shaped like a large grain of rice.[6] Orzo is traditionally made from flour,[7] but it can also be made of whole grain. It is often made with semolina, a type of flour made from durum wheat.

The name orzo is common for this pasta shape in North America, but less so in Italy, where the word usually still means 'barley'.[citation needed]

Preparation

There are many different ways to serve orzo. Orzo can be an ingredient in soup,[8] including avgolemono, a Greek soup,[9] and in Italian soups such as minestrone. It can also be part of a salad, a pilaf, or giouvetsi, or baked in a casserole.[10][6]

It can also be boiled and lightly fried, to create a dish similar to risotto.[citation needed][11]

When the pasta is made, the orzo can be colored by saffron, chilies, and black beans to yield yellow, orange, or black pasta.
