Umm, have you ever made rice pilaf? I have. But it came from a box. And while that box of rice actually tasted pretty good in my book, nothing compares to the homemade stuff. Particularly, this homemade stuff. I made it for the first time and was instantly hooked. I’ve now made it about 4 times since, and that was only 2 weeks ago! It tastes awesome and can be made in no time at all.
Easy Rice Pilaf
Recipe from AllRecipes
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp. salted butter
- 1/2 cup Orzo pasta
- 1/2 cup diced onion {I prefer a white onion}
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
Directions:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add Orzo pasta and stir until golden brown.
- Stir in the onion and cook until it becomes translucent. {About 5 minutes.} Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
- Mix in the rice and the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and let simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Just say no, to Rice-A-Roni, my friends. Make this instead.
