Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked orzo
  • 4 garlic cloves (chopped fine)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (roughly chopped)
  • 2 tbsp sun-dried tomato oil (from the jar)
  • 1 boursin cheese (150 grams)
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 cups spinach (roughly chopped)
  • 1.5 cups smoked white cheddar (shredded)
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Set your oven to 425 °F

  2. 2

    Grab a large baking dish and add your boursin to the middle. Add your uncooked orzo, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes (and the oil), veggie stock and seasonings to the dish.

  3. 3

    Cover and bake for about 20 minutes or until the orzo is almost cooked and the liquid is almost fully absorbed. *Please note: cook time can take up to 50 minutes depending on your oven*

  4. 4

    Once the stock is 90% absorbed, and the orzo is almost done cooking, remove foil, stir, add your shredded cheese and spinach and mix together.

  5. 5

    Cover and return back to the oven to cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until orzo is cooked through and all stock has been absorbed.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven and enjoy right away with lots of fresh cracked pepper.

  7. 7

    *Tip: if you are using an unsalted veggie stock you may need to increase the salt to 1/2 tsp as this recipe uses a lightly salted stock. I also recommend tasting it halfway through to see if any other seasonings are required.
