Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil divided
  • tbsp butter divided
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms quartered
  • ¼ cup onion finely diced, sweet yellow
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • salt to taste, sea salt and freshly cracked
  • black pepper to taste, sea salt and freshly cracked
  • ¾ cup orzo
  • cups chicken broth *Use vegetable broth for vegetarian version
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
  • 2 tbsp basil chopped finely, fresh

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons of butter and 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and finely diced onion to the pan; cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Pour the mushrooms into a bowl; cover with tin foil.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the large saucepan; add the orzo and cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes.
