This can be a hearty main dish or a fantastic side dish.In a large skillet, heat oil and sweat onions and garlic for 1 minute. Add cumin and orzo and saute for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the pasta to brown slightly.
Slowly stir in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and let pasta cook, absorbing the stock. When pasta is 90% done, stir in corn and heat. Cook pasta until al dente and stir in tomatoes and cucumber.
Top with cilantro, green onion, and grated Asiago cheese.
