I veganised this using veg broth and vegan cheese and butter and a little nutritional yeast as someone else suggested and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much Amy, I'll definitely be having this quite often

I can’t wait to make this. I just bought orzo today. I never made orzo before. Ty ty. I can my own mushrooms so I can use them. I also buy frozen peas. I love peas. I love creamed peas. Lost my recipe for creamed peas tho.

Olive oil to coat pan

Heat olive oil and sauté onions, add mushrooms and then add garlic for one minute
Add orzo and sauté with the mixture until it gets a little nutty
Add the broth and bring all to a boil, then reduce to simmer until all liquid is absorbed

Also seasoning of choice salt pepper etc
Add Parmesan cheese

Nice to see some cooking going on. The frozen peas are my favorite.

Swap the chicken broth for a vegetable broth, swap the parmesan cheese for nutritional yeast and find a butter substitute and you will have a great vegan meal with low fat and none of it saturated.

You had me at Penzys my favorite! Going to try this tonite

[julienero]

This is an amazing dish..I love anything orzo

[hassanajomaa]

Oh my God, I made this recipe for dinner tonight, substituted vegetable broth for the chicken broth and earth balance for the butter and skipped the cheese. Delicious 😘. Thank you for the recipe 😊

[johnlucia]

That looks beautiful and delicious. That would work well with Arborio rice, too, though you'd have to add the liquid a bit at a time. This looks much faster and easier...and irresistible!

Please note:
If you have small size Orzo, then pasta vs chicken broth ratio is 1cup to 1cup. I've tried your ratio 1pasta to 3broth and orzo has overcooked. This should have been mentioned on your video. just the thought.

Amy I made this for my husband and he went ballistic over it. Thank you

[trevorpinnocky]

Looks like a nice risotto. :D

Commercial mushrooms are not grown in dirt. They're grown in a sterile base. This can simply be brushed off with a vegetable brush or paper towel.

Mushrooms are highly absorbent and washing them fills them with water, inhibits the sauteé process, causing them to release a lot of liquid and steam instead of browning.

Most traditional chefs like Jaques Pepin always stress never washing mushrooms for this reason. Although more contemporary chefs (and also Julia Child) seem to go back and forth on the issue.

[Totlethegreat]

Was the Orzo already cooked or did you add it just from box?
