How do you make Vegan Orzo Salad?
This Vegan Orzo recipe is easy to make. You can adapt it to even make it in your instant pot if you want to whip it up even quicker.
- To make this vegan recipe, all you do is add your oil to a large pot for 30 seconds before adding your onion and garlic that you’ll cook on low-medium heat for five minutes until fragrant. This is the part that really adds a ton of flavor to the dish. So don’t skip it.
- To the pot, add the orzo and let the pasta become well coated by the flavors. Add in the fresh herbs and grated zucchini and cook down for 1-2 minutes. From here you can add your optional white wine to deglaze the pot. Stir aggressively to remove any browning from the base of the pot and cook down until evaporated.
- Turn the heat up and go ahead and add in the veggie stock, bringing the mixture to a boil and cooking for three minutes before adding in the cashew cream, S&P. Continue to simmer with the lid on until the orzo is cooked. It will be cooked when the orzo has soaked up the liquid.
- Once cooked, add the parm, lemon and pine nuts. Serve with your fav fresh herbs and a small drizzle of olive oil.
