Spring Pea Orzo
Spring has arrived with this flavorful and healthy Vegan Spring Pea Orzo
Ingredients
- 1 cup Orzo
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Broccoli Florets
- 1 cup Peas
- 1 cup Edamame Beans
- ¼ cup Finely Chopped Herbs, We used Parsley, Chives, and Dill
- Sea Salt & Pepper, to taste
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 cup Vegan Shredded Cheese, optional
- 1 Lemon, zest from
- Full Fat Coconut Milk, light drizzle, optional
Instructions
- Cook the orzo in water. Meanwhile, add about 2 cups of broccoli florets into a food processor. Pulse until the broccoli has turned into a rice. Careful not to over pulse or it will become soggy.
- Heat extra virgin olive oil onto a pan then add in the broccoli rice. Cook & stir occasionally for about 10 minutes.
- Add the peas and edamame beans to the rice and stir to combine. After a few minutes, stir in the cooked orzo. Next stir in finely chopped herbs (I recommend parsley, chives, and a few sprigs of dill), sea salt and pepper to taste, garlic powder, and 1 cup of vegan shredded cheese (I love Violife.)
- Stir frequently and once the cheese has melted, remove from heat and serve. Top with lemon zest and an optional drizzle of coconut milk.
