Why I Love This Recipe
From Rachel Ray's Yum-o
Ingredients You'll Need
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small onion finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and grated or finely chopped
4 cups chicken stock
1/2 pound ground chicken or turkey breast
3 Tablespoons parmagiano regiano cheese
3 Tablespoons bread crumbs
1 egg
1 garlic clove, grated
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup orzo
Directions
Heat oil in medium pot over medium heat.
Saute onions and carrots for 5 minutes, then add stock and bring to a boil.
In a medium bowl mix the meat with the cheese, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
If the mixture is too moist add a few more bread crumbs.
When the broth comes to a boil, roll the meat mixture into 1 inch balls and drop into the broth.
Stir in the orzo and cook for 7-8 minutes or until tender.
