4. Pour the tomato water over them, cover, and simmer until the mushrooms are finished, about 12 minutes. Remove the mushroom caps to a plate, and pour the leftover marinating vegan wine into the pan,.
5. Add capers. cook and stir until reduced. Drain orzo and toss with the mixture. Season mushrooms, to taste, and serve with orzo. '
