Anita's Summer Veggie with Orzo

 3 Tbsps olive oil, divided

1/2 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves minced garlic

1/2 green pepper, diced

1/2 yellow pepper, diced

1/2 red pepper, diced

1 medium zucchini, cubed

1 cup sugar snap peas, halved

1 cup orzo

2 cups chicken stock

Salt and Pepper to taste

In large skillet over medium, heat 2 Tbsp. oil.  Add onion and sauté for about 3 minutes.  Add garlic and cook 1 minute.  Add peppers, zucchini and sugar snap peas and cook for 3 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture to bowl.

In same skillet, over medium, heat 1 Tbsp. oil.  Add orzo and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth.  Cover and cook for 7-9 minutes; stirring occasionally.  Liquid will be absorbed and orzo should be tender.  If more liquid is needed to finish cooking add water 2 Tbsp. at a time.

Add the vegetables and stir to reheat.  Season with salt and pepper.
