Mushroom Orzo.

We tried a new recipe this weekend and it was fantastic!  Served it with baked teriyaki chicken for a great combo.  Here's what I learned:

  1. Skip the pearl onions and use one shallot instead.
  2. Use half the amount of butter the recipe calls for.
  3. Use chicken broth instead of water.
  4. Takes more like 15 minutes to cook the orzo all the way through.
  5. The Parmesan cheese was delicious but not really necessary.  There was so much flavor already.  Next time I will try shredded Parmesan to see if that helps keep it moist.

Before parm (very moist)...


After parm (yummy cheesy goodness but a bit dry)...


I am definitely making this one again!  Recipe can be found here:  Mushroom Orzo
