Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups portobello mushrooms sliced
  • 1 ½ cups orzo medium size
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • 1 ½ cups tomato sauce
  • 1 red onion larged and chopped
  • ½ cup white dry wine
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • salt
  • smoked paprika
  • pepper
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • ½ tbsp butter

Instructions
 

  • Drizzle in the olive oil and let it warm over low to medium heat. Add the chopped red onion, red pepper, and sauté until it softens.
  • Add in the mushrooms and cook until ready.
  • Pour in the orzo and give it a good stir, making sure each little piece is coated with the olive oil and those sweet onions.
  • Add the vegetable stock and wine. Stir
  • Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce. Let the orzo simmer while gently stirring now and then, and until the orzo soaks up all that flavorful stock and turns perfectly tender.
  • Right before it’s done, stir in the butter and let it melt into the orzo.
  • Then serve it garnished with your favorite cheese.
