This Gluten Free Orzo with Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Roasted Red Peppers is an easy to make side dish or vegetarian meal.
When I was a small child, my mother had my hair cut in the “Dorthy Hamill haircut.”
While Dorthy rocked this haircut, I most certainly did not.
I was so mad when she did it and stayed angry about losing my long locks for quite some time.
Now, as a Mom to a little girl that hates to have her hair washed, I totally get it. She was working and just didn’t have the energy to come home and fight with me over washing my hair. Short hair is easier to take care of and quicker to wash.
Skye is SO dramatic about getting her hair washed. She gives a whole new meaning to the term threenager.
It is so bad that I try to do it when the boys are out of the house because they get so worked up when she is that upset. (And of course, I then end up with all three of my kids mad at me.)
Today, hubby took the boys with him to the grocery store while I washed Skye’s hair and the first thing I said to him when he got back was “I sure hope you got something stronger than wine.”
It was one in the afternoon, and I was only half joking. #TrueStory
So Moms of girls, any tips for getting your little princess over this hurdle? Because I’d sure hate Skye to be holding a grudge about a bad haircut 40 years from now. 🙂
I’ll be sitting here wishing I actually drank something stronger than wine eating this Gluten Free Orzo with Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Roasted Red Peppers if anyone has any suggestions.
Gluten Free Orzo with Artichokes, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Roasted Red Peppers
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon roasted red pepper flakes
- 12 ounces gluten free orzo I used DeLallo
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 3 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- 14.5 ounces quartered artichokes drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes rehydrated and sliced
- 1/3 cup diced roasted red pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 more minute. Add orzo and cook for three more minutes, stirring often.
- Stir in broth and wine and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 12 minutes, until orzo is al dente. Stir in coat cheese and cook for two minutes. Add artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes and roasted red peppers to the pan and cook until the vegetables are warmed though, about 3 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
This is an awesome recipe! I love artichokes, and combining them with sundried tomatoes sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Stephanie!
Oh my this looks good. I do enjoy a good meal of pasta or pasta type dishes. The sun dried tomatoes are a nice infusion of flavor.
Thanks so much Rebecca!
This dish looks amazing. I would love to have this on my table. The colors are fantastic.
Thanks Terri!
My dad really liked us girls to have long hair so I’m pretty sure that’s why my mom let us keep it! And this recipe has so many of my favorite things in it so this is getting bookmarked!
My husband is the same way with my daughter and I don’t have the heart to cut it.
I have 3 girls so I truly know your pain! My girls have thin, straight hair in their younger years so we haven’t had too many battles but even just having them brush their hair can be a dramatic event… :/
Having older boys did not prepare me for the drama of a little girl. 🙂 I THINK she is getting better with the brushing but we have a long way to go with the washing.
This looks so amazing! I needed a new recipe for rotation during the week and I may try this!
Let me know if you try it Allison!
That looks yummy. I am not on a gluten free diet, but I would love to try this. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks! You could easily use regular orzo if you aren’t gluten-free.
I have just recently started making more meals with orzo. My family loves it and so this dish would be perfect to give a try this week.
Let me know if you try it Becca!
This looks TOTALLY delicious. I love that! I think artichokes are so yummy and I LOVE LOVE sun dried tomatoes!
Thanks Taylor! I am right there with you – artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes are favorites.
This looks really delicious. I’ve only had orzo a couple of times but its so good. Would love to introduce this dish to my family it looks super tasty!
Thanks so much! I don’t think to cook orzo often enough either!
I love sundried tomatoes! They add a depth of flavor in any dish and there’s just so many recipes that you can use it in. Thanks for this!
This looks absolutely freaking delicious! Definitely pinning and trying this recipe for myself! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Oh my goodness!! This looks so amazingly delicious! I seriously think my mouth just watered! If only I wasn’t such a mess in the kitchen…
