Basmati Rice and Orzo

Makes a terrific neutrally flavoured and very family friendly side dish of perfectly cooked basmati rice and al dente orzo that’s much more interesting but no more time consuming to make than plain rice.

It starts with browning the pasta in hot butter and oil. Rinsed basmati and stock are added so the mixture can steam. Be careful of the amount of salt you add.....the amount in the recipe worked with the salt-free vegetable stock I used but would need to be reduced if using a salted broth.

Fluff with a fork and enjoy!

Very easy + excellent results = 5 stars!
