Rice pilaf can be served as a side-dish or main dish.

Yield 8

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp butter or margarine
  • ½ cup uncooked orzo pasta or uncooked vermicelli pasta broken into small pieces
  • 2 cups uncooked long grain rice
  • 4 cups boiling-hot chicken broth
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 big onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced small

Instructions

  1. 1
    Melt butter or margarine in heavy deep pan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. 2
    Add vegetables and let them be lightly cooked without coloring; using the vegetables would mean you omit the orzo pasta.
  3. 3
    Add orzo pasta (or small broken pieces of vermicelli pasta) and cook, stirring constantly until pasta is golden brown.
  4. 4
    Add rice and stir until rice is well coated with butter. Allow rice to simmer in butter for a minute or two.
  5. 5
    Add boiling chicken broth and salt.
  6. 6
    Lower heat to a simmer, cover pan and cook 25 minutes over low heat until liquid is absorbed.
  7. 7
    Gently fluff with a fork. Let stand for 15–20 minutes before serving.
