Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon safflower or olive oil
  • 6 cups mushroom broth
  • 3 shiitake mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 3 cups whole-wheat orzo
  • 2 medium yellow onions finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound oyster mushrooms roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • Place a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then add the onions to the warmed oil. Saute, stirring often, for five minutes, until onions have softened slightly and started to brown.
  • Add the sage, pepper and mushrooms, and saute another five minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in some broth, and de-glaze the pan, scraping the bottom to loosen any cooked-on bits.
  • Stir in the orzo, then add the broth. Increase heat to high, bring to a boil, the reduce heat to low. Cover and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, stir in the nutritional yeast and let sit for five minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve immediately.
