Lemon Asparagus Orzo (Easy, Vegan!)

asparagus

orzo pasta (about 6-7 oz.)

green onions

parsley

dill

Tbsp. Vegan Parmesan Cheese (or more for serving)

lemon

lemon juice

white miso

garlic,

Cook orzo: Cook your orzo according to package instructions, taking care to not overcook it. Leave it slightly firm, not mushy. (I boil mine in salted water for about 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking on the bottom.) When orzo is cooked, carefully pour it in a mesh strainer, rinse with cool water, and drain well.

Make the dressing: Place all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until miso is smooth and combined.

Cook asparagus: Trim off woody ends of asparagus spears. Add 1 cup water to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it&#39;s gently boiling, carefully add asparagus. Cover with lid and steam for about 4-5 minutes or until spears are just tender. (Take care not to overcook. The time may vary depending on how thick your spears are.)

Cut asparagus: When asparagus is cooked, carefully remove with tongs and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch pieces.

Prepare the rest: Slice green onions. Roughly chop parsley and fresh dill. Place in a medium mixing bowl. Then add the rest: cut asparagus, cooked orzo, vegan parmesan, and dressing. Toss to combine. Adjust the flavors as desired or add salt &amp; pepper to taste.

I’m so sad you changed this recipe and didn’t keep the old one on here! It was so simple, less ingredients, and I know I should’ve written it down but I didn’t, argh! So I suppose I’m mad at myself lol! I’ll improvise and hope it turns out the same….we use your recipe every year for Passover meal, it’s wonderful and even my kids love it!

LOVE this recipe!! Made a couple of changes. I cut and roasted my asparagus for speed. I also toasted my orzo to bring out the nutty flavor. I added chopped fresh spinach and parsley. After I had the asparagus in I added parmesan cheese. Added a little olive oil to the dressing and topped with toasted sliced almonds. So nutty and flavorful. I hope you don't mind.
