Only 20 minutes to whip up dinner...A clever and complete source of protein dinner it is! Idea was from Dancer^, but I kicked it up a bit and lowered the amount of fat to make it seem more like a healthy main dish. The green envy mix was purchased from Trader Joe's, to which I added a scant amount of Earth Balance margarine to--basically, it's a tasty mixture of soybeans, green beans, spinach, and broccoli.
"Sausage" Orzo Pilaf:
2 T. Earth Balance margarine
1 t. olive oil
1 c. orzo
3 T. vegan ground "sausage"
3 c. water mixed with
1 1/2 T. vegan chicken broth powder
5 cremini mushrooms, chopped
parsley
onion powder
pepper
Melt margarine in a medium saucepan on medium heat, add orzo and let brown for a few minutes. Add olive oil then "sausage" and let brown for another couple minutes, toss in mushrooms, parsley, onion powder, pepper, and broth mixture and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Let cook for 8-10 minutes. Remove lid and stir.
