Ingredients:
2 tsp olive oil
¾ cup orzo
1 cup vegetable broth
½ cup frozen peas
2 Tbsp fresh mint
Directions:
Heat a medium saucepan over high. Add oil, then orzo. Stir until orzo is coated. Stir in broth and 1 cup water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until orzo is tender, 7 to 8 min. Orzo will absorb liquid as it sits.
Stir in peas until warmed through, 2 to 3 min. Cover to keep warm.
Chop mint and stir in just before serving.
Serves: 4-6
