Mushroom and Sausage Rice Pilaf image

I'm not sure where I found the original basic recipe, but after a few tweaks, I made this rice pilaf my own. It only needs a few ingredients for a wonderful meal. Any smoked sausage of your choice will do, and you can vary the amount of mushrooms to suit your taste.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup orzo pasta
¼ cup butter, divided
½ cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup long grain white rice
½ cup chopped smoked sausage, or more to taste
3 ½ cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Toast orzo pasta in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  • Cook white rice in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until rice is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in sausage and cook for 3 minutes. Mix in cooked orzo pasta and mushroom mixture; add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cover with an oven-proof lid.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Mix well.
