serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
water, as needed
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup orzo, uncooked
2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted

directions

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender, about 4 minutes. Add small amounts of water as necessary, about a tablespoon at a time to prevent sticking.

Add remaining ingredients, except orzo. Bring mixture to a boil, then stir in orzo. Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and cook for 15 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed.

Fluff with a fork before serving.
