Cook about 2/3 cup dried orzo according to package directions.

While the pasta cooks, saute 2/3 cup chopped onion in one to two tablespoons butter until soft. Add 1/3 cup chopped and pitted kalamata olives.

Drain pasta when tender and toss with onion and olives. Add a tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

 Orzo and couscous can be used interchangeably in some dishes, and they can also be interchanged with rice, barley, and other grains. This flexibility can make orzo a very useful thing to have around the kitchen, as orzo keeps much better than many grains, with a shelf life which is infinite, as long as the pasta is stored in a cool, dry place.
