    I thought this was very good. It's a rather simple recipe in that it doesn't have many flavour add ins with herbs etc. however I think this recipe is a great side that will nicely complement many main attractions. The jalapenos add a nice kick and all of the wonderful veggies in there make it - Read more ...

    My sister-in-law brought this recipe as a dish to pass. I enjoyed it very much. I have always been a fan of orzo and this is a great way to serve it. I shared this recipe with my friends.

    Very good and good to look at too. Have been trying out different orzo recipes since discovering this little pasta. If it is too bland for some they could add more jalapeno but I like being able to taste the different ingredients it's a fresh appealling summer salad. Goes great with grilled steak or chicken - Read more ...

    This recipe makes a lot of food so expect leftovers! It's also pretty bland but perked up after I added a bit of rosemary and thyme.

    DELICIOUS!!! I was looking for a recipe similar to one I had at a restaurant and this was amazing! I added 1/2 cup of fresh cream to make it more sauce-y I also substituted chorizo sausage for the hot peppers and I served it over raviolis. I'm definately making it again!

    This is incredible! If you don't like spice leave the jalapenos out and you will not miss out on the flavor. Try using squid instead of the orzo. Sounds strange... but it's delicious.
