3-4 cloves of garlic

1 cup dried pearl orzo

3 1/2 cups water or veggie broth

1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas

Anweisungen

Dice an onion, thinly slice zucchini, and peel and mince garlic cloves.

To a frying pan or pot on medium heat, add the olive oil, diced onion and stir often, until translucent.

After a few minutes, add the zucchini, sautéing until softened. Next, add the minced garlic and sauté for another two minutes.

Add the orzo and water/broth to the pot, then cover.

Check on the pot every few minutes, removing the lid when the water/broth is almost all absorbed. 5. Taste the orzo to make sure they are cooked through (if too al dente, add a bit more water/broth).

Add in the chickpeas, chopped spinach, cilantro, and sundried tomatoes and mix well.

Optional: add links of turkey sausage.

Finally, add the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and salt to taste.
