Steps:
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Chop broccoli into bite size pieces and put into pot with water. Cook for 6 minutes and fish out with a large slotted spoon and set aside. Now pour orzo into the same pot and cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the orzo is cooking prepare the cheeze sauce. In a blender place; olive oil, vegan butter, rice milk, flour, corn starch, paprika, onion powder, seasoned salt, sea salt, black pepper, marjoram and garlic powder. Blend until smooth.
- After the orzo has finished cooking, drain the water completely. Place pot back on the stove and turn heat down to medium to low. Pour cheeze mixture in with the orzo and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Take off heat and let stand for 10 minutes before eating. You can add the broccoli to the orzo and mix it together or eat it separately.
Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a better flavor and texture than frozen broccoli. If you're using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it and drain it well before using.
- Don't overcook the orzo: Orzo is a small pasta that cooks quickly. Overcooking it will make it mushy. Cook the orzo according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (firm to the bite).
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a Parmesan cheese that you enjoy the flavor of.
- Add some vegetables: If you want to add some more vegetables to this dish, you can add some chopped carrots, celery, or bell peppers. You can also add a handful of spinach or kale.
- Make it a main course: You can make this dish a main course by adding some cooked chicken or shrimp. You can also serve it with a side salad.
Conclusion:
