Mushroom Kritharotto

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


I’ve wrote about/shared a dish called kritharotto – it’s basically cooking kritharaki (Greek orzo) in the style of risotto. Ladles of stock are added (gradually) to the pan with the pasta as it gets absorbed – giving one a creamy finish to the dish.

This is an easy dish to prepare and it’s delicious! Much like a risotto, one needs onions, garlic, herbs, wine, stock, mushrooms and cheese. Of course you will also need olive oil or butter or why not both?
