6 tabelspoons |
Butter |
| 1/3 cup | Orzo (broken bits of thin pasta may also be used) |
| 1 2/3 cup | Long grain rice |
| 4 cups | Hot chicken broth |
| To taste | Salt and pepper |
1. Melt the butter in a sauce pan with the orzo. Stir and cook over medium heat until orzo is lightly browned.
2. Add rice and continue to cook to heat through for about 1 minute.
3. Carefully add the broth, while stirring. Season, and bring quickly to a boil.
4. Cover, lower heat, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed. This usually takes about 18 minutes.
6. When the pilaf is done, turn off the heat. Leave covered until ready to serve.
7. Fluff the pilaf gently with a spoon before plating and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes:
If your chicken broth is salted, you may not want to add additional salt.
