I replaced the walnuts with pine nuts, and it was scrumptious. We had this with braised lamb shanks (also found on this site), and the combination was outstanding.

This is one of the best recipes I've ever got. My husband first cooked this for me on Valentine's day, and I was so impressed. Since then we've cooked this for our guests many times, and everyone raves about it. It's always their "favorite dish tonight". Just love the flavor of orzo, mushrooms, and toasted walnuts. Definitely cook the orzo with smaller flame to soak up the chicken broth.

Right before I added the chicken broth - I added the orzo to the mushroom/onion saute' (with a TBLS butter) and let brown/cook for a few minutes. Therefore, I had NO problems with the orzo cooking - it came out good. Our only problem - we just couldn't get past the walnuts! We like them in plenty of baked goods but we just picked them out in this. Thanks anyways!

I have made this several times as a side for many different dishes. It is always well received. I sometimes omit the walnuts. It is just as good without.

This dish is so good. It has a light flavor to it that will compliment any meat. I wasn't sure how the walnuts would taste but I was pleasantly surprised at the subtle flavor they gave and how well it worked in. I did have to add in more chicken broth than stated though as the orzo was still hard after the liquid had absorbed..no biggie. Will be making this again!

This is a very flavorful dish that I served for New Years Eve. Made it ahead of time, then warmed in oven. I cooked it for 20 min. initially instead of 15, and all the liquid was absorbed. Yum!

Since my husband doesn't like walnuts, I substituted pine nuts and sauteed them with the onions. Very good and great with an italian chicken dish!

I substited rice for pasta and L O V E D it. My very finicky 6 year old lked it also. I had all the ingredients on hand, and the walnut sweetened only a little; enough to not want salt. A D E F I N I T E must try *****

This was a nice tasty dish to compliment the chicken I made. However it did take a lot longer for the orzo to absorb the liquid, about 40 minutes.

I made the recipe as written, and it made a ton. I will definitely cut the recipe in half next time. I'll also omit the walnuts. They did not compliment the dish at all and stood out oddly among the ingredients, texture and flavor-wise. Also, I'll turn the heat down while cooking the onions and mushrooms. The "medium-high" heat was a bit too hot and my dish ended up with a slightly scorched flavor because of it. With these adjustments, it will be a delicious side dish.

I thought I had everything I needed, came time to cook, I did not have orzo.. I substituted arborio rice, kept everything else the same. It worked very well! Easy to throw together with a surprizingly different flavor for the few ingredients! I served with a steak that had a blue cheese sauce. good compliment of flavors! I cut the recipe in half, maybe it was the rice, but it sure made a lot!!

This was an excellent side dish! I added celery in addition to the onion and mushrooms and it tasted great! I also added some herbs and spices to kick it up a bit.
