INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons orzo pasta
1 cup white rice
2 cups chicken broth
Salt
Black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

2. Add the uncooked rice and stir thoroughly until the oil has worked its way through all the grains. Add your chicken broth and spices and bring to a boil. If you are using chicken bouillon in place of stock, cut down or omit the salt.

3. Cover and reduce the heat. Let the rice slowly simmer until the liquid disappears

4. Without removing the cover, take the pan from the heat and put it aside to cool down. Keep the top on at all times while the rice cools. Note: If too much condensation forms on the inside of the lid, open it and cover the top of the pan with a few paper towels, then close the lid over them. This will absorb excess moisture and allow the rice to continue steaming at an even pace.

5. Before serving, open the lid and gently stir the rice to loosen the bottom and separate the grains.

6. You can use a small dessert bowl as a mold to ?give it that signature rice pilaf look. Fill the bowl and pack down the warm rice with the back of a spoon. Invert the bowl onto a serving plate. The pilav will pop out in the shape of the bowl.
