Vegan Mushroom Orzo
This vegan Mushroom Orzo is made in the Instant Pot with just a few simple ingredients. Creamy & flavorful with none of the dairy.
Equipment
- Wooden spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 16 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 2 shallots diced
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 cup dry orzo
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp parsley
- ½ tsp thyme
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Wash your mushrooms and pat dry with a paper towel. Peel and dice your shallot.
- Add the mushrooms and shallot into the Instant Pot with the vegan butter and all of the spices, salt, and black pepper.
- Use the Sauté mode to sauté the veggies until the shallots are translucent and the mushrooms have reduced and have turned golden brown. Stir often to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn off Sauté mode and add the uncooked orzo and veggie broth in with the cooked mushrooms. Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook on High for 2 minutes.
- The Instant Pot will take 10-12 minutes to come to pressure, then will cook the contents for 2 minutes. Once this is done, carefully release the pressure then remove the lid from the Instant Pot.
- Check that the orzo is cooked perfectly al dente. If there is any remaining liquid in the bottom of the pot, return to Sauté mode and let the liquid cook off for a couple of minutes. Make sure to continue stirring to prevent sticking.
- That's it! Top with some vegan cheese or fresh lemon zest, serve, and enjoy!
