Ingredients

6 ounces orzo pasta
2 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna, drained
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup kalamata olive, pitted
2 teaspoons capers
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 -2 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried) (optional)
1 -2 teaspoon basil (fresh or dried) (optional)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (pre-grated is fine)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

1

Boil water and stock in a large pot.
2

Add orzo and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
3

While orzo is cooking, process olives, capers, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and optional herbs in a blender or food processor until it resembles a course paste (i.e. tapenade).
4

When orzo is cooked, drain it, return it to the pot and stir in the tapenade to coat the noodles. Add more olive oil if it seems dry.
5

Mix in flaked tuna, tomatoes, parmesan, garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper.
6

Stir well and serve.
