What a lovely salad! So light and yet delicious, perfect for spring. Last year I made the crunchy asian slaw recipe (Also on FromMyBowl.com, I'll include a link below but I doubt it'll work) quite a lot, and I feel that this recipe falls in that same vein and I'm super excited about it!!!. Well done with this one!

Made it tonight for dinner and my family and I loved it.  So fresh and delish.

I've made this salad twice, and It is bomb!!  Orzo is my favorite summer pasta.  I love the addition of radishes, they give it a nice crunch texture.  I use lightly toasted pine nuts, instead of almonds.  I dress the salad per bowl, so it lasts a little longer in the fridge without getting soggy. I could eat the entire salad in one sitting, it's that awesome.  

I have recommended this recipe to many people and the comment is that is an easy fresh salad.  Orzo is my favorite summer pasta.  Thank you for sharing. 
 My non-vegan friend eats her's with salmon on the side.

Another great recipe, thanks! Followed the recipe, added some sliced carrot.

This is great!  Easy to make. Can definitely add in some more veggies. Leftovers were good and didn’t lose the crunch!

Definitely was looking for a good orzo recipe that's light. This is a winner for sure! 🤤

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

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 :)
