INGREDIENTS
1/2 c. onion diced
3 garlic cloves minced
2 c. orzo
4 tablespoons vegan butter separated
3/4 c. rice milk plain, unsweetened
1/2 c. nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
2 teaspoon lime juice
3 c. vegetable stock or bouillon & water

How to make Creamy Garlic Orzo
Step 1: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low-medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onions to the skillet along with the orzo. Saute for approximately 5 minutes, stirring until the orzo is lightly browned. Make sure to keep on stirring not to burn the orzo.
Step 2: Gradually add the vegetable stock or bouillon./water to the skillet and bring to a boil. Once boiling, decrease the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for additional 13 minutes, stirring often until the orzo is completely cooked.
Step 3: Once the orzo is cooked through, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet along with the rice milk and nutritional yeast. Keep on stirring until boiling, then decrease the heat to a simmer. Then, whisk in the salt, pepper, parsley, and lime juice.
Step 4: Continue to cook for an additional minute or so.
Step 5: When done, serve the creamy garlic orzo warm. Enjoy!
