Cooking Steps
- Add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- 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 ppl). Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return orzo to the same pot, off heat.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Stir until melted, 1 min. Cover and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then peppers, tomatoes, Zesty Garlic Blend and half the garlic salt. Season with pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 5-6 min.
- Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water.
- Transfer veggies to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then plant-based protein shreds. Cook, tossing occasionally until cooked through, 6-8 min.**
- Add tomato sauce base and remaining garlic salt. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min.
- Remove from heat. Season with pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon zest over top, then stir to combine. (NOTE: Reference zest guide.)
- Cover to keep warm.
- Add spinach and lemon juice to the pot with orzo. Stir until spinach wilts, 1 min.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide orzo between bowls. Top with veggies and plant-based protein shreds.
- Sprinkle with feta.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
If you've opted to get plant-based protein shreds, cook and plate it the same way as the recipe instructs you to cook and plate the beef, tossing occasionally until cooked through, 6-8 min.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
