Do you need a hug? This vegetarian dish is designed to give you a warm embrace. Similar to a classic risotto, you’ll concoct a supper of chic comfort using the smallest of pastas, shaped like grains of rice. Toast the orzo first, then whirl it around with onions, garlic and demi-glace until peak tenderness is achieved. Sautéed mushrooms and broccoli get in on the action, along with cream and grated cheese for extra love.

Preparation
Mise en place
Thinly slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic.
Start the orzotto
In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the orzo and toast, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant. Add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant. Add the demi-glace, 2 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions), ⅓ of the spices and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 9 to 10 min. (12 to 14 min. for 4 portions), until most of the liquid has been absorbed. If dry, gradually add ¼ cup water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Sauté the vegetables
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the broccoli (halve if large) and sauté, 3 to 5 min., until beginning to brown. Add the mushrooms and sauté, 5 to 7 min., until beginning to brown. Add 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until the water has evaporated and the vegetables are tender; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
Finish the orzotto & serve
To the pot of orzotto, add the vegetables, cream and cheese; stir well. Divide the orzotto between your plates. Bon appétit!
