Directions:

In a large deep frying pan, saute  mushrooms and onions in olive oil, until soft.

Cook orzo separately adding a couple garlic cloves and Himalayan pink salt to water.

Move mushroom/onion mixture to side of pan.  Adding a little more olive oil, start laying medallions of sausage flat against bottom until caramelized on both sides.  When sausage is all caramelized, stir pan mixture.  Add cooked, drained, orzo, a swirl of chicken broth and a splat of butter. Salt/pepper to taste.

Notes from the chef:

Optional: add ribbons of spinach for added color (stack spinach, cutting off stems, roll like a joint and slice across).   Buon appetito!
