4 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 cups dried orzo pasta
3 -4 tablespoons margarine
2 onions, cut into thin wedges
4 teaspoons dark brown sugar
8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
salt and pepper

Steps:

Boil broth in a large saucepan and add orzo. Cook until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Drain any remaining liquid.
Heat margarine in a large skillet over high heat and saute onions and brown sugar until translucent. Reduce heat to low and simmer onions for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When onions are beginning to brown, add mushrooms and cook for 5-10 minutes longer until the onions are golden brown and mushrooms are tender.
Combine orzo with onion mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
