Mushroom Lemon Orzo
with garlic and green onions
On the menu Jan 6 — Jan 19
This mushroom orzo dish beautifully marries the earthy depth of mushrooms with the bright, tangy essence of lemon, creating a flavor profile that is both comforting and refreshing.
The base of the dish is orzo, a small, rice-shaped pasta, which is cooked in a savory chicken stock until tender. Cremini mushrooms are sautéed with minced garlic and green onions, adding layers of umami and slight sweetness to the dish.
The sautéed mushrooms are then combined with the orzo, the zest and juice of a lemon are folded in, with a burst of citrus that brightens the entire dish.
