Olio Taibi
Pasta
This side dish is a great companion to your favorite grilled meats or fish; serve warm or cold, it will be in rotation all summer long.
4 ounces orzo
1 medium zucchini, seeds removed, small dice (about 1 cup)
1 bell pepper, yellow or red, small dice (about 1 cup)
2 TBS chopped fresh mint
1-2 TBS harissa (see note)
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
1/2 TBS finely minced shallot
Cook orzo according to package directions.
Meanwhile, combine zucchini, bell pepper, and mint in a bowl.
Whisk together Olio Taibi Nocellara Extra Virgin Olive Oil, harissa, lemon juice, and shallots.
Drain orzo and while warm, add to vegetables in the bowl, add dressing, and toss well.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Usually we recommend our delicate Biancolilla for vegetable pasta dishes, but the kick of harissa in this calls for our more bold Nocellara.
