Toasted Orzo with Sausage and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
"Orzo develops a lot of great flavor when toasted dry with olive oil, onion and garlic, then cooked in a manner similar to rice. Once done, you can mix in just about anything you like. For this recipe we've added sliced sweet sausage, sun-dried tomatoes and black olives to make an easy one-dish meal...."
