A deliciously cheesey tasting broccoli and orzo dish. I created this recipe to mimic Rice-a-Roni’s Broccoli Au Gratin, a favorite of mine before I became vegan.

This dish is very quick. It will be on the table in less than 30 minutes. Only 5 grams of fat and packed with over 11 grams of fiber per serving! GO TO RECIPE>

Have made this twice already, with some modifications. It’s an excellent “cheese” sauce.

Wow. This looks amazing and easy. I’m not much of a cook. Thanks again for another great looking recipe.

This was perfect. I added a little creole seasoning to the top to give it a little kick. I am new to this plant based way of living and I LOVE IT! Thanks so much for sharing your talent. I will be cooking your dishes all week to try them out.

Hi,
Is it possible to use Soy milk instead of Rice milk? Thanks, all your recipes look great, can’t wait to try them!

Ann E, You could but I think it tends to give a weird flavor to the dish when soymilk is cooked.

This is a fantastic recipe! Being the only vegan in my household is rough, but this recipe won everyone over! Thanks.

16 cups of water, really? I’m afraid to try this recipe because it states 16 cups of water. Just want to be sure that’s correct. Thanks. Sounds yummy once I figure out the water.

Sara, all that water is to boil the orzo. You drain the water after they’ve cooked.

i just made this subbing chard for half the broccoli, water for the milk, teff flour for the flour & corn starch, and i didn’t have any seasoning salt so i just used a little extra salt. it’s *FABULOUS*, thank you!

I have made this a few times and love it! I like to add a handful of sliced blanched almonds just before eating for a little crunch, but it’s lovely without the almonds as well.

I made this tonight with some changes. I had to double recipe too. I ONLY used 8 cups of water for the orzo. You bring it to a boil, then simmer for about fifteen minutes.If there is extra water, drain it. I also added 2 vegetable bouillion cubes to the water and eliminated the sea salt. I steamed the broccoli seperately. I also eleminated the oil AND the corn starch from the sauce. I used unsweetened soy milk and heated it on medium heat while stirring in the butter. I pre mixed all the spices, flour, and nutritional yeast and with a whisk added it to the milk/butter,stirring until thickened. Then I mixed them all together. YUMM…new family favorite!!
