Orzo With Mushrooms

Submitted by Boomette

"From Ricardo. I made it today. Since I had half a large onion to use, I decided to use it in this recipe instead of the green onion. I added the onion at the same time as the mushrooms. I cooked the orzo in boiling water 10 minutes. It was al dente. We loved this side dish. It was perfect with the chicken that was cooked on the barbecue."

This was a marvelous aide for tonight's chicken. Mushrooms are one of my favorite things and a new way to use them is always welcome. Great flavor and texture. Simple and very yummy. Served with rosemary chicken, steamed broccoli and carrots.

YUUMMMMYYYY!!!! I only had 205 grams of mushrooms, so that's what I used. I thought that it was the perfect amount. My orzo hating, mushroom hating brother declared this "The Best Stuff Ever!" Thanks so much!!!

This is delicious, quick and easy. I subbed white wine for the chicken broth. Looks and tastes like a fancy dish without all of the work. Served with baked tilapia and steamed broccoli. This will be made often.
