VEGAN LEMON ORZO PRIMAVERA

Steps:

• In a straight-sided pan or large pot, add 1 tablespoon of oil over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add mushrooms and sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden and tender. Then, add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add in orzo, stir until evenly coated in the oil and garlic, and cook for another minute.
• Add in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, only lifting to stir occasionally, and cook until the vegetable broth is almost fully absorbed (5-6 minutes).
