Rice Pilaf

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup orzo pasta
• 1/2 cup diced white onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a lidded skillet over medium-low heat.
2. Cook and stir orzo pasta until golden brown.
3. Stir in onion and cook until onion becomes translucent, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
4. Mix in the rice and chicken broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
