Like every good allrecipes reader, I checked out the reviews before starting this dish, and these are my modifications (not that the original had anything wrong with it): No pearl onions, so I just cut up two small regular yellow ones and sauteed them with sliced mushrooms with olive oil and butter. At the same time, I roasted some asparagus to add, just because I love it and was using the oven anyway. When both were done I set them aside and I toasted the orzo in butter and olive oil until it was well coated, then added 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock and 1/2 cup of white wine, adding more when the liquid disappeared so that it was all absorbed and the flavors vibrant. Then I threw the veggies back in the orzo and did the Parmesan on individual plates, to taste. Yum! I get weirded out by melted Parmesan. Once, on a recipe like this, but not this one at all, I let the Parmesan sit in the heating dish and it got thick and gloopy and kind of hard and I nearly stopped consuming cheese for awhile, because I kept picturing it in my arteries.

Amazing!!! I swapped the water for chicken broth and added 1/4 cup more and also added spinach. Had it with meatballs. You have to try this, it's so good!

I prepared this recipe for the first time tonight and it was delicious. It had such a wonderful, rich, tasty flavor. I modified the recipe and added more more mushrooms, canola oil and margarine instead of butter. I also replaced the garlic powder with fresh garlic and the pearl onions with yellow onions. The next time I prepare this recipe, I plan to either eliminate the orzo and incorporate it into a veggie or all mushroom lasagne and/or prepare it as a pasta sauce.

Absolutely amazing! I doubled the orzo and the liquid. Next time I will double the mushrooms. I used regular onions as I never have pearl onions. I only used 2 T butter to begin with and 1 T when I added the orzo. This was delicious!

I love this recipe, made as a main dish with Chicken Kebab's for the valentine dinner last night. I did add a dash of chilli flakes and Asparagus cut into 2 inch pieces to finish.

So I thought this was a great way to start out! I too used Chicken broth instead of water but added 1/2 c due to other reviews. 2nd try I will omit the extra liquid and see how it cooks up. (resembled sloppy risotto) but my 4 stars is due to the strong wine taste. Nxt time I will halve the wine. (I onlycook with good quality wine I would drink!) Topped w fine parm chz and green onions only cause i did not have parsley.

I previously rated this after making it once. Since then, I have made it more and played with the recipe just a tad, and now I LOVE it!! Have made it several times and I crave it. For the mushrooms, I just used button mushrooms, and 1/2C as the recipe called for turned out to be 3 mushrooms...not enough, at all. I now make it with like 10 button mushrooms, I'd even add more. I use chopped white or yellow onions instead of the pearl, and I use one minced garlic clove instead of garlic powder. I also increased the wine to 2/3C, I really like that wine flavor. So, with those changes I now love this recipe and plan to make it a lot!

EXCELLENT. Wow. If you prefer a carmelized onion flavor, over traditional onion flavor, try this: Add a small vidalia onion and 2 gloves of garlic into your food processor. (Omit the garlic powder called for. Add the entire stick of butter in the beginning and get the onions slightly tender. Add the orzo and one-half of the wine. Use a sweeter wine, like a Riesling, to give some good sugar quality. I used Piesporter White Wine but any sweet grape variety would do. Stay on top of it during this stage of cooking as the carmelization will start to happen and could burn quickly. Lastly, use fresh sliced baby bella mushrooms, and omit the parsley. The outcome had a savory blend with just a hint of natural sweetness that was delicious. If you like the taste of carmelized onion, savory with just a hint of sweet, this modification is for you.
