1 cup firmly packed parsley

 

¼ cup Parmesan cheese

 

¼ cup fresh basil

 

¼ cup walnuts

 

2 garlic cloves

 

½ teaspoon salt

 

Pepper

 

 1/3 cup olive oil

 

¾ cup orzo

 

½ cup chopped red pepper

 

½ cup sliced black olives

 

2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

 

1 tablespoon minced scallions

 

2 avocados

 

 

      Puree in blender first 7 ingredients.  With motor running, add olive oil in a stream.  Cook orzo in boiling salted water; drain.  Toss with parsley mixture, red pepper, olives, vinegar, scallions and salt and pepper to taste.  Halve avocados lengthwise and pit.  Rub cut surface with lemon.  Divide salad mixture among shells.  Chill, lightly covered, for 30 minutes.  Serves 4.

            I made the mistake of cooking the whole small package of dry orzo so we had orzo as the pasta with chicken and in minestrone and still there was some left.   We had this with crab sandwiches for a meal.  I have some untired recipes using orzo, but I can't find it at either of our chain stores lately. cj

Buttermilk Pie

 

4 eggs

1/4 cup melted butter, partially cooled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2/3 cup sugar

Pinch salt

1 tablespoon flour

2 cups buttermilk, more or less

 

Break eggs into a blender.  Turn on and blend for a few seconds, drizzle in the butter while the b lender is runninga, add the vanilla, half the buttermilk, sugar, salt and flour.  Add enough of the remainder  of the buttermilk to end up with 3 cups in the blender.  That's all that fits in a 9" pie.

Have oven preheated to 375.  Pour filling into pie shell, sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg and put in oven.   Bake for 35-40 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool on a rack and put in the refrigerator to chill before serving.
