Instructions
- Heat an enamaled Dutch oven, or nonstick pot to medium heat with the butter. Add the orzo and brown for 3 minutes, then add the rice and cook for another 2 minutes making sure to thoroughly coat the rice with the butter.
- Add the onion and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until softened, then add the garlic and thoroughly mix to coat.
- Add the stock, salt, and pepper and mix. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn the heat down to low. Cook until the rice absorbs all of the liquid and is tender (about 17-20 minutes).
- Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes, covered.
- Remove the lid, and add the rice to a large bowl and fluff with a fork. Mix in the parsley and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- Washing the rice is highly recommended. It removes starch and makes the rice grains separate more easily.
- Depending on the type of rice and the exact amount of heat, the cooking time after covering will be anywhere from 15-20 minutes. Cook the rice until the liquid completely evaporates, then let it sit covered, off the heat, for another 5 minutes before fluffing.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 2 days in the fridge and can be reheated in the microwave.
