Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil -- optional |
1/4 cup sherry -- or apple juice |
1/2 medium Onion -- minced |
2 cloves garlic -- minced |
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper |
4 cups plum tomatoes -- fresh or canned chopped |
1 cup vegetable broth |
1/2 cup orzo |
1 teaspoon fresh basil -- chopped |

Preparation / Directions:
Saute onion, garlic and bell pepper in olive oil and sherry/apple juice till soft. Add tomatoes and veg. broth and bring to a boil. Simmer 7 minutes. Add orzo and simmer another 10 minutes. Stir in basil before serving. Makes 4 servings.
My notes: I made this over my lunch break and stuck it in the refrigerator so I could just reheat it for dinner. The orzo soaked up *a lot* of the liquid so I added another cup of veg. broth before reheating. I served it with a green salad.
