Our 23 Favorite Orzo Recipes for Speedy, Satisfying Dinners Posted: 29 Apr 2021 02:15 PM PDT Orzo is pasta pretending to be rice, and nobody is upset about it. It's a perfect shape for "grain" salads that won't glop or go stiff after a few hours in the sun.

All Olive Bread Is Good—But This One Is Great Posted: 29 Apr 2021 11:00 AM PDT Castelvetrano olives are named after an eponymous town in Sicily, where they're grown both for pressing into olive oil and simply for snacking (you might find one in your next martini, too!). Unlike the typical green olive you'd find in a salad or entrée, Castelvetranos' mild flavor comes from being harvested at a younger stage, and because they're typically packed in a brine that has less salt than other jarred olives.
