This is another easy Vegan Entree that comes together in the amount of time it takes to boil a pot of pasta : )Orzo Pilaf:
Cook according to package directions and set aside
1 Pound orzo In a large skillet, Saute
1 bag pepper & onion mix or 1 red bell pepper &1 onion in crescents
2 (4 oz) cans mushrooms, or 1 pound fresh
1 T garlic
Add1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp (or less) salt
Above prepared Orzo or rice
Then
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauceStir briefly to warm, and serve
Serving Tip: If you serve this with peas as a side dish, the flavors complement each other, and you ALSO get a complete protein! (I don't really worry about matching proteins much, but that's a topic for a future post)
Tip for dining with Omnivores: A dollop of plain yogurt is very nice on top of this pilaf. Also, cooked cubed chicken can be added to the Omnivore's portion of the dish, or a grilled chicken breast may be served along side.
Gluten Free Variation: I have made this dish with rice in place of orzo when serving Gluten-Free folks, and it turned out pretty nicely : )

Welcome!
Please, DO chime in! : )
If you want to share a link to a pertinent and supportive post of your own that directly relates to my post (if, for instance, you also have a great vegan pancake recipe, or a post about Christmas) I don't mind a bit!
I encourage any questions about methods, measurements, or cooking times, and comments about typos, broken links, mistakes, omissions, etc. I also welcome thoughtful questions - even if you disagree with me.
I often take a few days to post your comment, and a few after that to reply. Please don't think I'm ignoring you if my response is slow - I'm just not always connected to technology. (at the current moment, I cannot manage to reply to posts on my blog at all -despite repeated attempts to do so. I DO appreciate your comments, and hopefully this glitch will be fixed soon! )
Delighted to have you here! Post away!
