Spring Miso Orzo with Asparagus & Peas

Enjoy a delightful one-pot recipe that celebrates all things spring. This creamy Orzo pasta features fresh farmer's market leeks and asparagus. The white miso brings a touch of salty umami, while lemon zest adds a hint of acidity. Finish it with a sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan cheese, a crack of black pepper, and a drizzle of good olive oil (Durant Olive Oil is one of our favorites!)

Pair this dish with your favorite local white wine for a perfect spring dinner. Enjoy!

My name is Kelsey!

I’m a Pacific Northwest chef and food enthusiast here to share the joy that cooking brings me. I love using local produce and products to create tasty and vibrant food. Blessed to have a wide range of culinary influences, meaning you’ll see everything from tacos to teriyaki and a few things in between. It’s a mixed bag over here and it’s delicious.
