Risotto-Style Pea and Mint Orzo

Alessandra

Want risotto but are too lazy to make it? This orzo curbs that risotto craving and is a fresh filing dish.

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
