  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 large Portobello mushrooms, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/3 cup frozen Green peas
  • 1 lb. Asparagus, washed and stems cut, then cut into bite-sized pieces

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cook orzo according to directions on the package.
  2. While orzo is cooking, heat avocado oil over medium heat in a large cast iron or stainless-steel skillet. Once the skillet is hot, add mushrooms, frozen peas, asparagus, and garlic powder, and let cook for 3-4 minutes.
  3. After 3-4 minutes add 3 tbsp of Bonafide Provisions Chicken Broth to deglaze the pan. Turn the heat to low and let cook until there is no more liquid.
  4. While that’s cooking, combine minced garlic, lemon, and ¼ cup bone broth in a small dish and whisk until combined, then set aside.
  5. Once orzo is done, drain to remove all the liquid, then add in vegetables and combine. Slowly drizzle lemon sauce over the pasta and mix until well combined. Finish off with sea salt and black pepper to taste, then grate fresh parmesan after plating.

“I started drinking bone broth a few years back when I was desperate to get my health back in order. It’s now a staple in our home… On the weeks where I am feeling a little less inclined to make my own, I really enjoy @bonafideprovisions.”
