Creamy orzo with chorizo and mushrooms is a lovely dish that pairs intense flavour with a rich, creamy texture. Orzo, a rice-shaped pasta, is perfect for this kind of dish where everything is cooked in a single pan – a one-pot orzo, or a one-pot pasta if you like.
This recipe brings the flavour of the spicy chorizo together with the juicy mushrooms, and the dish is finished with white wine, Parmesan and cream, which give it a luxurious, full-flavoured creaminess.
It is a dish that is as quick and easy to make as it is good to eat – perfect for busy weeknights or a cosy evening with comfort food on the menu.
The orzo absorbs all the flavours as it cooks, which makes this dish extra rich and intense. Serve it as it is, or top it with a little extra Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley for a lovely finish.
Creamy orzo with chorizo and mushrooms
Ingredients
- 250 g mushrooms, sliced
- 25 g butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 180 g chorizo, cut into small dice
- 100 ml white wine

- 100 ml cream whipping cream (38% fat) works well

Method
- Heat a splash of oil in a large, deep frying pan and fry the mushrooms until golden.

Jeg gav den et lille sundere twist og brugte havreris istedet for orlov og det fungerede faktisk ganske fint. Tak for altid gode og opskrifter lige til at forstå og gå til

Hej
Hvilken ost (eller andet) kan man erstatte parmesan med? Ved godt resultatet jo nok ikke bliver “ligeså godt” uden, men hende her bryder sig virkelig bare ikke om smagen 😉 Vh Pernille
Hej Pernille
Du kan sagtens få de god med andre oste også 🙂
Jeg vil foreslå en lageret havarti eller f.eks. vesterhavsost – de har stadig lidt smag, så retten får lidt poser derfra:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Er der en preference til hvilken hvidvin der skal bruges?
Hej Rikke
Slet ikke, den må bare ikke være sød.
Vi har altid chardonnay i huset, så det bruger jeg 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Jeg brugte bacon i stedet for chorizo, det var mums
Hejsa
Hvor er det dejligt at høre – dit fif er hermed givet videre 🙂
