Preparation
1
Cook orzo

  • Add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

  • Add half the garlic salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Stir until melted, 1-2 min. Cover and set aside.

Prep

  • Meanwhile core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice green onion.

5
Bake skillet
