Creamy Orzo with Sausage & Mushrooms

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!
