Creamy Garlic Pepper Orzo with Lime

ingredients

4 Persons

2 cloves of garlic
800 ml vegetable stock (1 or 2 low-salt stock cubes)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons The Spice Club Garlic Pepper Mix
450 g orzo
100 g cashew nuts
1 lemon

preparation

Soak the cashews: Place the cashews in a bowl and add enough boiling water to cover. Soak the cashews for at least 15 minutes (or longer for a creamier texture), then drain.
Make the sauce: Add the soaked cashews, garlic, lemon juice from half a lemon, and a teaspoon of garlic pepper mix with 250ml of water to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 3 tsp The Spice Club Garlic Pepper Mix and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the orzo to the pan and stir well to coat it with the herbs and oil. Then add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the orzo, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been absorbed and the orzo is tender (about 8-10 minutes).
Mix the cashew lemon sauce into the cooked orzo. Add the fresh lemon juice and stir until creamy and the flavors are well combined. Heat over low heat until it is just thick. Taste and season with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Information about salt

At The Spice Club we don't add salt to our products because we want to offer 100% pure ingredients, free from cheap fillers like salt and sugar.

If you want to add salt to dishes, you can of course. With our mixes, you at least have control over your salt intake, depending on your taste and health preferences.
