Does have potential: I sauteed chopped red bell pepper, green onion, and garlic before adding tri-color orzo, peas, and other ingredients. Also used fresh mint and just a dash of dried tarragon. It was okay--served with the delicious CL tilapia in lemon butter sauce and a small salad with apples & ginger dressing.
