Creamy Orzo with Sausage & Mushrooms

recipe

• Step 1
  Clean & thinly slice the mushrooms.
• Step 2
  Peel & finely chop the shallots.
• Step 3
  Remove the casing from the sausages & use a fork to break up the meat.
• Step 4
  Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausage meat. Season with salt & pepper. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often. When cooked through, transfer the sausage meat to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining fat in the pan.
• Step 5
  Heat the same frying pan over medium heat, only adding olive oil if necessary. Add the shallots & cook for 2-3 min, stirring often.
• Step 6
  Add the orzo to the shallots & let cook for 2 min, stirring often. Pour in the white wine & mix. Add the mushrooms.
• Step 7
  Pour in a ladle of broth & stir until absorbed. Keep adding ladles of broth, stirring & letting them absorb until the orzo is tender & cooked through, about 7-10 min.
• Step 8
  When the orzo is tender & cooked through, add the grated parmesan & cooked sausage meat. Mix well & season to taste.
• Step 9
  Serve the creamy orzo with sausage & mushrooms on a plate with a little grated parmesan, olive oil & fresh parsley on top, if you have some. Enjoy!
