Ingredients
  

Mushrooms

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 400 g Button Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 clove Garlic crushed

Orzo

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 4 clove Garlic crushed
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 3 tbsp Spelt Flour or Plain Flour
  • 350 ml Milk
  • 750 ml Chicken Stock
  • 150 g Orzo
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 200 g Curry Kale Stems removed and chopped
  • 90 g Parmesan grated

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large non stick pan over high heat. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic and cook until the mushrooms are softened. I usually aim for 3 - 4 minutes.  Remove from the pan and set aside. 
  • In the same pan, add the butter. Turn the heat down slightly and add the garlic and onion. Saute for 5 minutes before stirring in the flour. Cook out for a minute. 
  • Pour in the milk and stock. Stir in the orzo. Turn the heat up and season.  Cover the pot and bring to a simmer. 
  • Cook for 8 minutes or until the orzo is cooked. Stir in the kale and cover for 2 more minutes. 
  • Top with the parmesan and pop under the grill for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
