  • Remove the fat from the stock in the pan and add more stock if necessary to make up four cups.
  • Remove the stock from the pan and set aside.
  • Heat the Dutch oven again and add half cup olive oil.
  • Add the orzo pasta and toss for a minute.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic sautee until the onion is clear.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, dillweed and parsley.
  • Return the meat to the pot along with the 4 cups of stock.

  • NOTE: if the dish is too wet when the pasta is tender continue to cook for a few more minutes with the lid off to reduce the sauce.
