- Time for the Orzo

- Last Step

If your sundried tomatoes are soaking in oil, strain them well beforehand. Otherwise, you will have an oily orzo dish.
Stir occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
If you desire, you can opt for water and a chicken stock cube instead of broth. Also, you can use heavy cream instead of coconut milk.
