Not only is orzo unusual, it's a wonderful alternative to the normal carbohydrates. Orzo is an Italian dried pasta. Each piece of the pasta is the size and shape of an unprocessed grain of barley, which is what "orzo" means in Italian, "barley." In Italy, orzo is frequently used in soups and risottos in place of arborio rice. Here we flavour it with lemon and red onion.
