Orzo is a hard wheat semolina pasta that's rice-shaped and is often used in conjunction with or in place of rice.
Ingredients:
110g long-grain rice
3 tbsp orzo pasta
250ml chicken stock (or water)
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
pinch of black pepper
Method:
Wash the rice several times in warm water then drain thoroughly. Place in a pan, cover with hot water, cover and set aside for 15 minutes. Drain the rice after this time.
Place the orzo in a medium-sized pot and dry fry over low heat, stirring continuously, until the pasta colours slightly then take off the heat. Now add the butter to a separate pan along with the rice and fry for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously. Add the chicken stock and the pasta to the rice. Season well, bring to a low simmer then cover and cook until the rice absorbs all the liquid (about 20 minutes).
Take off the heat then remove the lid, place a clean kitchen towel over the top of the pot and replace the lid. Allow the pilaf to stand for 5 minutes then fluff with a fork and serve.
