Chicken Sausage Orzo
/From the kitchen of Heidi Thomas
Chicken sausage over orzo… add your favorite vegetables!
Ingredients:
Al Fresca brand garlic chicken sausage, sliced 1/8”
Half box orzo
Medium onion, halved, sliced
Container sliced mushrooms
Garlic
Olive oil
Chicken broth
Butter
Directions:
In a large deep frying pan, saute mushrooms and onions in olive oil, until soft.
Cook orzo separately adding a couple garlic cloves and Himalayan pink salt to water.
Move mushroom/onion mixture to side of pan. Adding a little more olive oil, start laying medallions of sausage flat against bottom until caramelized on both sides. When sausage is all caramelized, stir pan mixture. Add cooked, drained, orzo, a swirl of chicken broth and a splat of butter. Salt/pepper to taste.
Notes from the chef:
Optional: add ribbons of spinach for added color (stack spinach, cutting off stems, roll like a joint and slice across). Buon appetito!
