I think most orzo boxes will tell you 2 - 1 but in the recipe above, I added a little more liquid. When I did some research on the ratio, I found many cooks go 2 1/2 or 3 to 1. You can always make adjustments while you cook. If the orzo has absorbed all the liquid and doesn't appear to be done, just add a little more liquid. If there appears to be too much liquid, you can drain some off and cook the rest down. You just want to be careful not to overcook the orzo. - The Reluctant Gourmet Hi Victor,

For rice I use twice as much water as rice, or 2 to 1. Is there a standard ratio of liquid to orzo, like there is for rice? For rice I use twice as much water as rice, or 2 to 1.

I like to saute it for a few minutes to add a little extra flavor. RG The orzo is uncooked at this point. I like to saute it for a few minutes to add a little extra flavor. RG
