Turkish Rice (Orzo Rice)
Report
Turkish Rice (orzo rice) is a great way to add some extra taste to your usual boiled rice. The fried orzo gives this rice rich nutty flavour.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon orzo pasta
- 1 cup long-grain white rice I used basmati (rinsed and drained)
- 2 cups chicken stock
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter to serve, salted
- parsley to serve, chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot and add orzo.
- Fry over medium heat until orzo is browned (this can happen quickly so keep an eye on it!).
- Add rinsed and drained rice and stir to coat in oil.
- Add chicken stock (or water) and salt and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, turn the heat down to very low then cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 15 minutes (without peeking!).
- At the 15 minute mark, turn the heat off and leave to sit for another 10 minutes (with the lid still unopened).
- Add butter and fluff with a fork.
Notes

- In this Turkish style rice recipe I have used chicken stock, but you could use vegetable stock or water.
- Add in some fresh crushed garlic when you add the rice.
