Recipe Reviews

My mother made orzo rice pilaf at least weekly while I was growing up. I was pretty shocked when I searched eatyourbooks to find that none of my cookbooks had a recipe for rice pilaf that included orzo as I thought it was pretty standard.

This recipe from food.com is much like my mother would make pilaf. I followed the recipe exactly except for subbing butter for margarine and cutting the amount in half. A full stick of butter would have made very greasy rice. The recipe does not call for any spices so is pretty bland and benefits from the addition of some salt and pepper.

The recipe was only marginally more work than using the Near East pilaf in a box and had no mystery ingredients in it. We all liked it very much and I'm sure to be making this often.
