Orzo, also known as risoni, is a form of short-cut pasta, shaped like a large grain of rice. Orzo is traditionally made from white flour, but it can also be made of whole grain. The name orzo is common for this pasta shape in North America, and less common in Italy; the Italian word orzo means barley.

Orzo, or Kritharáki in Greek, are short-cut pieces of pasta that look like flattened rice. Traditionally used in pilafs, soups, salads and casseroles, orzo is a wonderful foundation for an elegant meal instead of rice or polenta. In Greece, Orzo is traditionally used in Youvetsi” or “Giouvetsi.” a casserole made with ground lamb or beef, bathed in a light tomato sauce seasoned with garlic and cinnamon and topped with feta cheese. Orzo is also a popular pasta choice for the classic Chicken Kokkinisto: chicken braised in tomato sauce, seasoned with garlic, onions, white wine and cinnamon. Orzo is also often used, instead of rice, in the iconic lemony Chicken Avgolemono Soup.

Orzo made with Durum wheat tends to hold its shape like al dente pasta, while orzo made with soft wheat has a more risotto-like texture.
