A delightful and easy-to-make side dish featuring orzo pasta tossed with fresh herbs, lemon, and toasted almonds for a nutty crunch.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the orzo until al dente.
Stir the orzo occasionally to prevent it from sticking together.
Drain the orzo and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Rinse the orzo briefly with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Toast the sliced almonds in the skillet until golden brown.
Keep stirring the almonds to ensure even toasting.
Add the sautéed garlic, toasted almonds, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped basil, and parsley to the orzo.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice to suit your taste preference.
Toss everything together until well combined and serve warm.
Garnish with additional herbs or a sprinkle of grated cheese for extra flavor.
