Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce. 
  • To a large pot, add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Halve tomatoes.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
Cook orzo
2
  • To the boiling water, add orzo. Cook for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Strain orzo, then return to the pot, off heat.
  • Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cover and set aside.
Cook veggies
3
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then peppers, tomatoes, Zesty Garlic Blend and half the garlic salt. Season with pepper. 
  • Cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp.
  • Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water.
  • Transfer veggies to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
Cook plant-based protein shreds
4
  • Reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then protein shreds. 
  • Cook for 6-8 min, tossing occasionally, until cooked through.** 
  • Add tomato sauce base and remaining garlic salt. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant. 
  • Remove from heat. Season with pepper.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon zest over top, then stir to combine. (Like things zesty? Add more lemon zest!) 
  • Cover to keep warm.
Finish orzo
5
  • To the pot with orzo, add spinach and lemon juice. Stir for 1 min, until spinach wilts. 
  • Season with salt and pepper, if you like. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide orzo between bowls. Top with veggies and protein shreds.
  • Sprinkle with feta.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.

If you've opted to get plant-based protein shreds, cook the same way as the recipe instructs you to cook beef, tossing occasionally for 6-8 min, until cooked through.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
