Salmon Tomatoes Corn And Orzo Recipes

SALMON, TOMATOES, CORN AND ORZO

Steps:

• Bring water to boil in large covered pot.
• Chop whole onion.
• Heat nonstick pan over high heat until it very hot. Reduce heat to medium-high and add oil and onion. Saute until onion begins to soften.
• Shuck corn and scrape kernels from cobs; grate the ginger.
• Add the corn kernels, cumin and ginger to the onion and continue to cook until the corn is done, two or three minutes.
• Cook the orzo.
• When onion-corn mixture is cooked, spoon into a serving bowl. Wipe out the pan and spray it lightly with pan spray. Saute the salmon in the pan, following the Canadian rule: measure fish at the thickest part and cook 8 to 10 minutes to the inch.
• Wash, dry, trim and quarter the tomatoes and halve them. Squeeze out some of the seeds and juice, and cut the tomatoes into small dice.
• Mince the garlic; wash, dry and chop the oregano and stir into the tomatoes. Add to corn mixture.
• When orzo is cooked, drain and stir in. When salmon is cooked, cut into bite-size pieces and carefully stir in.

ONE-POT ORZO WITH TOMATOES, CORN AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet, for which you have a lid, set over medium. And the onions, lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the zucchini and garlic, and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring often.
• Add the tomatoes, basil, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have completely collapsed, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and tomato paste and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add 2 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the orzo, corn, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mix well, and turn the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan 3 or 4 times, until the pasta is cooked. The pasta should look "saucy" as it cooks; if at any point it looks dry, add another 1/4 cup water.
• Off the heat, add the mozzarella and Parmesan and stir gently until just combined. Top with fresh basil and more red-pepper flakes if desired, and serve hot.
