one pot orzo

You’re going to love this easy, creamy and delicious one-pot orzo made with chicken sausage, onions, spinach and corn topped with grated Parmesan.

One-Pot Orzo with Sausage, Spinach and Corn

chicken sausage

½ medium yellow onion (chopped)

corn kernels

dry orzo

chicken broth

baby spinach

¼ cup freshly grated parmesan

black pepper

Remove the sausage from the casing and add it to a heavy bottom sauce pot or Dutch oven.

Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

Add the onion and corn (no need to thaw) and sauté for 10 minutes.

Add the orzo and chicken broth, stir to combine then bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes and scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure the orzo doesn’t stick.

Remove from the heat, add the spinach, stir and cover for a couple minutes, until the spinach has wilted.

Top with freshly grated parmesan and black pepper, to taste and serve.

One-pot orzo with tomatoes is a creamy, comforting, wholesome, satisfying meal that tastes like faux risotto but cooks in just 25 minutes, perfect for busy weeknights and dinner parties!

One-Pot Orzo

olive oil

onion

garlic

cherry tomatoes (halved)

orzo ((I used gluten-free))

vegetable broth (or water)

coconut milk (or thin cashew cream)

tomato paste ((optional))

Salt & pepper (to taste)

Red pepper flakes (to taste)

Parmesan

herbs

You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.First, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Then, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan/skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and sauté for about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic to sauté for 30-60 seconds.

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook until they soften slightly. Use a fork or potato masher to gently press them to release their juices.

Add the orzo, mix well, and toast for a minute until lightly golden and fragrant.

Pour in the vegetable broth, a little at a time, while stirring. Keep stirring until no broth remains.

Then, lower the heat to a simmer and pour in the coconut milk, cooking the orzo for about 5-8 minutes.

Next, add the tomato paste (if using), taste, and season the orzo with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Finally, add more broth if you want a saucier tomato orzo, cover the pan, and cook for a few more minutes until the orzo is al dente, stirring occasionally. Serve in bowls topped with vegan Parmesan and basil – enjoy!

Delicious! Highly recommended.
I doubled the onion, garlic, and tomato. As I used soup pasta not orzo I halved the vegetable broth and used about 2/3 the coconut milk. As soup pasta cooks in 2-4 minutes, I adjusted the cooking time accordingly. The basil and parmesan cheese really improve the flavour.

One of my new go-to recipes :)
Super flavorful, creamy and a true feelgood dish.

Thank you very much for the recipe :)
