Categories     Mushroom     Onion     Pasta     Tomato     Side     Bake     Sauté     Basil     Leek     Fall     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces portobello mushrooms, stemmed, diced
3 cups sliced leeks (white and pale green parts only)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
4 cups freshly cooked orzo (rice-shaped pasta; about 1 1/3 cups uncooked)
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 8 x 8 x 2-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray. Bring broth and tomatoes just to boil in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms: This will give your pilaf a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
  • Use a good quality broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pilaf. If you don't have any homemade broth on hand, you can use store-bought broth, but be sure to choose a low-sodium option.
  • Cook the orzo according to the package directions: This will ensure that it is cooked properly and has a nice texture.
  • Fluff the pilaf with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains and make it light and fluffy.
