Side Dish - Ginger Orzo



Right well after fighting with my phone for... too long,  I just went with the original picture I took, which is a bit dark so sorry about that!  I should really invest in proper setup for food photography,  but like everything else takes too much money of which I never seem to have enough to keep up with my idea's.  Some day! Maybe I will get a sponsor or something,  that would be cool!

Okay so this evening is my first use of the new Konjac Pasta.  I used the orzo shape tonight obviously.  The pasta is made from the konjac plant fiber.  So this stuff is 100% fiber, no calories and no calories, but gives you that pasta feel and fix.  I liken the texture to be that of  al dente pasta, firm but still soft.  The flavor is null really,  so perfect for adding whatever you want to it!

On to the Recipe!

Ginger Orzo

1 package konjac noodles, orzo shape
2 tsp ginger, minced
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp sour cream
1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli

Another pretty easy dish,  toss it all in the pan, and heat through completely.  Simmer to let the flavors blend, and you are ready to go.  I tossed a piece of provolone cheese in since I had a slice leftover in the package.
