Lamb and Orzo Pasta
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 stalk celery, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
1
Preheat a substantial saucepan over an elevated heat setting, typically denoted as medium-high. Introduce the lamb into the saucepan and initiate cooking until it reaches a darkened, fully cooked state with no remaining pink hue, fragmenting into small pieces during the process, approximately 5 minutes. Incorporate the tomatoes and their accompanying liquid, celery, orzo, a pinch of salt, a dash of cayenne pepper, and minced garlic into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil; subsequently decrease the heat to a lower, more subdued setting, cover the saucepan, and allow it to simmer gently until the orzo has become tender and has fully absorbed the surrounding liquid from the tomatoes, roughly 12 minutes.
