Serves: 2 to 4
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped white onions
3 slices bacon, chopped
3 ounces uncooked orzo
1¼ cup chicken broth
4 baby zucchini, chopped
2 tablespoons double crème Robiola
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, mint or chervil
Fleur de sel
Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. To make the "risotto," heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add onions and bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp. Stir in orzo and cook for 1 minute more. Add half of the chicken stock and simmer, stirring constantly, until liquid has evaporated. Stir in remaining stock and zucchini and simmer, continuing to stir constantly, until orzo is tender and liquid is almost evaporated. Add Robiola and tomato and stir until cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve, spoon orzo onto the center of a serving platter. Garnish with herbs and a pinch or two of fleur de sel.
