Ingredients
- 2 Tbs Butter
- ¼ Cup Onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- ½ Cup White Rice
- ½ Cup Orzo Pasta
- 2 Cups Chicken Broth
Instructions
- Bring the butter to a sizzle over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced onions and garlic.
- Add the rice and orzo.
- Stir well to coat all the ingredients well with butter.
- While continuing to stir, cook until a little more than half of the rice/orzo turns golden brown.
- Carefully add the chicken broth.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer until all the broth is absorbed.
- Remove from heat, add fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to add parsley, peas, or other vegetables to your rice.
- Orzo is a rice-shaped pasta. You will find it down the pasta aisle and usually not by the rice.
