Mendi's Preferred Orzo Recipe

Step 1

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the orzo and cook it until it’s just tender, about 6 to 7 minutes, then drain and set aside. Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle them with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and release their juices, which should take around 5 minutes. Next, stir in the butter, followed by the corn, peas, parsley, and the cooked orzo. Give everything a good mix, taste, and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve it right away while it’s warm and delicious.
