Culinary pairing
- Mushroom Orzo Risotto: You will need 2 shallots, dried oregano, 250 to 350 g of mushroom orzo, 2 cloves of garlic, 5 spring onions, 40 g of pumpkin seeds, vegetable broth, and 125 g of cream cheese.
Slice the garlic, onion, and spring onions into thin slices. In the meantime, boil 1 liter of water with vegetable broth to cook your freeze-dried mushroom orzo for 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the pumpkin seeds, garlic, onion, and sliced spring onions.
Once the orzo is cooked, add it to the pan along with the cream cheese. Sauté over low heat for about 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese becomes creamy. Serve hot in deep plates.
- Chicken Mushroom Orzo: You will need 250 to 350 g of mushroom orzo, sliced chicken fillets, garlic, dried oregano, and 25 ml of liquid cream. In a frying pan, drizzle some olive oil and add the minced garlic and sliced chicken fillets. Sauté until cooked. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil with chicken broth, add the mushroom orzo, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Then, combine the orzo with the chicken and add the liquid cream. Sauté over low heat for 5 minutes. Serve hot. You can garnish with grated Parmesan or Grana Padano and pair it with a dry, fruity red wine, such as Faré Rebels or the organic Agiorgitiko from Zacharias Winery.
