Calories: 216kcal
Ingredients
- 2, 7 oz bags Banza Chickpea Rice or two 8oz bags Jovial Grain Free Cassava Orzo
- 3 shallots sliced
- 4-6 garlic cloves minced
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoon salt put 1 teaspoon in veg and 1 teaspoon later when mixing all together
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup oat milk
Instructions
- Cook gluten free orzo in a pot of boiling water according to package directions.
- While orzo boils, begin with sauteing the sliced shallots with olive oil in a pan on the stove, over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly golden brown and translucent.
- To the pan of shallots, mix in the minced garlic & sliced mushrooms. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes or until mushrooms are cooked & softened. Mix in 1 teaspoon salt & pepper.
- When the orzo is finished cooking, strain the orzo and rinse thoroughly with water to remove any excess starch. Make sure what is strained out.
- Pour oat milk into the shallot-mushroom mixture along with the cooked orzo, 1 teaspoon salt & garlic powder. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes over medium-low heat, until milk is absorbed.
- Serve right away or allow to cool and store in the fridge up to 3 days.
