Method
1. Start with Butter
To begin, place a large sauté pan or deep skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of Kerrygold Chive & Onion Butter Blends to the pan. Let the butter melt fully it will start to sizzle slightly and give off that delicious aroma of chives and onions. This butter is the base of your flavor, so give it a moment to shine before adding anything else.
2. Sauté the Onion
Once the butter is melted and bubbling gently, add in 1/2 of a small onion, finely diced. Stir it around to coat it in the butter, and let it cook for about 3 to 4 minutes. You want the onion to soften and turn slightly golden. This step helps build that classic sour cream and onion flavor we all know and love.
3. Toast the Orzo
Next, pour in 1 cup of orzo. Stir it into the buttery onions and let it toast for 1 to 2 minutes. You don’t want to brown it too much, just enough to give it a bit of a nutty scent. Toasting the orzo adds depth to the final dish and helps it hold its shape as it cooks.
4. Simmer It All
Now it’s time to turn the orzo into something magical. Add 3 cups of vegetable broth to the pan, along with 1½ teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Give everything a good stir to mix in the spices. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes. You’re looking for the orzo to become tender while most of the broth gets absorbed. If it starts sticking to the bottom, reduce the heat a bit more and stir more frequently.
5. Make It Creamy
When the orzo is tender and the texture looks thick and cozy, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives, and the final 1 tablespoon of Kerrygold Chive & Onion Butter Blends. Mix everything together until it becomes creamy and smooth. The sour cream gives it tang, and the extra butter brings everything together.
6. Taste & Season
Now it’s time to give it a taste. Depending on your broth, you might want to add a little salt. Start with a small pinch and mix it in. Taste again and adjust as needed. Don’t be afraid to trust your taste buds!
7. Serve Warm
Spoon the creamy orzo into bowls while it’s still hot. For a final touch, sprinkle more chopped chives on top. It adds color, freshness, and a little extra oniony pop. Serve right away and enjoy your cozy, flavorful bowl of sour cream & onion orzo!
