In a large saut pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the portobello mushrooms and saut for about 5 minutes. Add the cremini mushrooms and saut for 7 to minutes longer, until the mushrooms are nicely browned.

In a saucepan, combine the water and orzo and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes or until the orzo is tender. Drain and return to the pan.
