The flavors were delicious. If i make it again I would put a little chicken stock with the kale and garlic while it is cooking. My garlic burned and the kale was not soft and tender.

Great healthy side dish. I used low sodium chicken broth in place of the water. Next time I will probably add more garlic.

I'm sorry, but nobody really liked this dish. I followed the recipe exactly. I think the kale overwhelmed the orzo and its texture was unappealing.

My husband and I both liked this dish a lot. I had never cooked with turmeric before but it had a great flavor. There are a great mix some great bold flavors in this dish. It was a keeper for us.

This was nice, but not great. I had to add lots of salt and pepper to get a good flavor. But, very healthy and pretty! It probably would be better with the additions other reviewers recommended (beans, tomatoes, etc). Has a lot of potential for experimentation though.

It tastes like kale, lol but be ready for the slightly bitter, spinach-like taste. Great texture. Do add tomatoes after cooking, or some tofu, or some veggie sausage, or beans...for protein. Just stir them in the bowl at the end. Very good for you no doubt and a good balance of flavours. Might try rice in place of orzo. No modifications req'd!

I really enjoyed this recipe. Rich varied flavor with two of my favorite under-used ingrediants. I served with steak and peppers. Will try it with fish next.

Wow, I had no idea this would be as good as it was. My family really enjoyed it. I was surprised at what a great combination these flavors were. I made no special adjustments, but made this exactly as described. Made a LOT.

This is one of those recipes where you really wish there was a 10 star rating option. We absolutely loved this. The flavors are amazing. I added some halved cherry tomatoes right before serving. Thank you so much! :)

this was really quite lovely. I added some white beans and pine nuts, and later when I had leftovers I added some sauteed mushrooms. actually used the full amount of kale for half the orzo by accident, but it worked out fine. nice recipe!

I really like the way the flavors combine in this dish--unusual and tasty. The lemon brightens everything nicely. Also, the turmeric gives the pasta a nice color. I added some of the white wine I was planning to drink to the kale while it cooked for more continuity.
