After eating at an ‘Italian’ chain restaurant and loving this side dish, I went home and tried to recreate it. This is the recipe I finally came up with.
Recipe Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, divided
- 8 pearl onions
- 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
- ½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup white wine
- garlic powder to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
Cooking Directions
- 1 Melt 1/2 the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook until golden brown. Mix in orzo, mushrooms, and remaining butter. Cook and stir 5 minutes, until butter is melted and mushrooms are tender.
- 2 Pour water and wine into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 7 to 10 minutes, until orzo is al dente. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and parsley to serve.
