Orzo with Snap Peas and Peanuts
Orzo with Snap Peas and Peanuts packs amazing flavor and crunch in every bite! And this dish is healthy too, with lots of protein and fiber!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup Orzo uncooked
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1/4 cup unsalted peanuts chopped
- 2 tbsp champagne vinegar or rice vinegar
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add uncooked orzo to the pan and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the orzo becomes fragrant and just starts to turn golden.
- Add the unsalted chicken stock and salt to the skillet and bring to a boil. Boil 8-10 minutes until the liquid is almost absorbed. Add in the snap peas, cover and cook for 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in unsalted peanuts and vinegar.
Chef Tips
Note- substitute rice vinegar or another mild vinegar for the champagne vinegar. If using plain white vinegar, reduce vinegar to 1 TBSP and add 1 TBSP water.
Note - reduce fat by using olive oil cooking spray instead of the 1 TBSP olive oil.
