Recipe for Risotto with orzo

Ingredients
1 1/2 Cups Orzo
3 Cups water or broth (or 1/2 of each)
3 Garlic cloves chopped
1/2 Cup grated Romano
1/4 Cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 Cup sliced or chopped mushrooms

Instructions
1. Bring the water and broth to a boil in a large sauce pan.

2. Add the orzo and cook per the boxes instructions (about 9 minutes).

3. When the liquid is absorbed, add the garlic, Romano, parsley and mushrooms and mix well.

4. Turn heat down to low and let everything cook together for a few minutes.

5. When ready, serve warm.

Tip #1: Stir the orzo every so often to prevent it sticking to the bottom.

Tip #2: Feel free to add a few of your own ingredients such as fresh basil, chopped red pepper or even sliced grape tomatoes.

Tip #3: Turn this into a main dish by adding some hearty vegetables or some chicken.

Great with the following dishes:
