Mushroom Orzo is a meal that I make often, I am constantly tweaking and altering the recipe for this. Last night I made it and it came out beautifully. Normally I make a coconut curry sauce, but I was out of the curry paste I typically use. I used harissa instead, oh man did it turn out just as good if not better.





Along with mushrooms, this pasta has a healthy dose of garlic, onion and red peppers. Add a bit of heat, some herbs, the creaminess of the coconut milk and all the ingredients sing together in a satisfying chorus of yum.





I honestly hadn’t planned on adding this recipe to the blog because it’s one of those throw random things together and hope for the best kind of deals. But the best happened! Alpha and I scarfed this down all in one night! This recipe must be shared with the world via the internet!
