Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Frying oil
  • 12 ounces (340g) cremini mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 shallots
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) dry white wine can be omitted
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) orzo
  • 2 1/2 cups (600ml) chicken broth

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the ingredients: slice the mushrooms, finely dice shallots, and finely chop garlic.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pot or a pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms, don't stir for the first 2 minutes letting the mushrooms brown. Start stirring, and cook the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add butter, shallots, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and cook for another minute.
  4. Add the wine and cook until almost evaporated.
  5. Add orzo and broth, bring to a boil, and simmer for 8 minutes or until orzo is cooked through and al dente (soft but still has a bite to it). It may look too runny at first but it will thicken further while cooling. Cooking time may vary depending on the brand of the orzo!
  6. Add parmesan, pecorino, and heavy cream. Cook for about a minute until the cheeses are melted.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
  8. Enjoy!
