This is another recipe handed down through generations in my family. It incorporates a browned pasta (orzo) then a standard cook of non-converted white rice on top of the browned pasta. It’s a real treat, and goes well with anything on the grill, especially chicken, lamb or pork.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup orzo
- 2 cups Standard Long Grain rice do not use converted rice, use Riceland for example.
- 4 cups water
- 1/3 cup butter -or- unsalted butter ghee Clarified Butter
- 3 Tablespoons Salt

- Let it come back to a boil, then cover saucepan and set to lowest flame possible. (this may be a different/back burner on your oven (don't use the large one)
