Creamy Mushroom Orzo
An easy dish with restaurant quality flavor all made in one pan.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp butter
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1.5 cups sliced mushrooms
- 2 tsp fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
- 1 cup orzo
- 1 cup evaporated milk (we use 2%)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan (optional for topping)
Instructions
- In a large lidded skillet on medium high heat, combine olive oil and butter. Once melted, add mushrooms and diced onions. Sautee until golden brown.
- While mushrooms are sautéing combing evaporated milk and chicken broth, set aside.
- Add orzo to mushroom and onion mixture. Turn heat to low. Stir until orzo is golden brown.
- Slowly add in milk/broth mixture, and stir to combine, ensuring orzo does not stick to pan. Continue to cook for 12-15 minutes, and stir about every 3-4 minutes to prevent sticking.
- Orzo is fully cooked when most of the liquid is absorbed. Top with cheese if desired. Serve & enjoy!
