ORZO WITH MUSHROOMS

From Ricardo. I made it today. Since I had half a large onion to use, I decided to use it in this recipe instead of the green onion. I added the onion at the same time as the mushrooms. I cooked the orzo in boiling water 10 minutes. It was al dente. We loved this side dish. It was perfect with the chicken that was cooked on the barbecue.
