Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups orzo
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 shallot diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Green Goddess Sauce

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk 15.5 oz
  • 1/2 cup basil
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1/4 cup parsley
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • Salt & pepper

Directions

  1. Prepare the green goddess sauce by blending together the sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Some of the greens may not be fully blended depending on your blender, but rather really finely chopped. Adjust salt & pepper to your liking and set aside.
  2. Heat a skillet or saute pan on medium heat with two tbsp of olive oil.
  3. Add in the chopped shallot and garlic and saute for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add in the orzo and salt and toss together to toast the orzo for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour the water into the pan with the green goddess sauce, then cover the pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to simmer on low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  6. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, chili flakes and fresh basil.
