Remember the Preserved Lemon Coriander Salsa that I shared early on this week, well, some of it was stirred through cooked Orzo Pasta to take into work for lunch.
I have to say, it was okay, but it did not work quite as well as the piquancy of the Preserved Lemons did not cling onto the Orzo Pasta so well. I won't grumble though, it filled a little hole in my belly. The best part for me was the fragrant coriander, but then I do like coriander very much.
I am sharing this Preserved Lemon Coriander Orzo Pasta Salad with Soups, Salads and Sammies hosted by Kahakai Kitchen.
Well it looks great! And I swear I can almost smell it thru the screen! YUM!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer, coriander is indeed fragrant
DeleteIt sounds lovely to me! I adore coriander too.... definitely my favourite herb x
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to note you like coriander, so many people dislike it
DeleteI would love to have this salad for lunch.
ReplyDeleteThanks VegHog, I would have happily shared some
DeleteYour salsa sounded delicious and this sounds like a great way to use it - sorry it didn't quite hold the flavours. Maybe rice would do so more?
ReplyDeleteKari, I think your right, it would work better with rice - maybe next time.
DeleteIt does look tasty and I love both cilantro and preserved lemon--too bad it didn't hold the flavor like you wanted. Thanks for sharing it with Souper Sundays this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb.
DeleteThis must smell so good with the preserved lemon and the coriander! I never cook orzo. I should. My father was a huge fan. Let's honour this!
ReplyDeleteYou should def. try and cook orzo, nice sub for rice. So interesting to read that your father was a fan
