Chef John's flavor-packed rice and pasta dish features homemade chicken broth and a blend of aromatic seasonings.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 0.125 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon celery salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.125 pinch ground turmeric
  • 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 0.5 cup finely diced onions
  • 0.66666668653488 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • 1.3333333730698 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 3 cups good-quality chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
Instructions:
  • Combine a tantalizing blend of salt, pepper, coriander, mustard powder, celery salt, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add diced onion and pasta. Sauté until onions soften and pasta is golden brown, for about 4 to 6 minutes. Mix in spice blend and cook for about 30 seconds. Add rice and stir until coated with butter, for about 1 minute.
  • Pour the flavorful chicken broth into the pot and let it gently simmer. Stir it well and lower the heat. Cover tightly with a lid and let it cook for 17 minutes. Take it off the heat and allow the covered pot to rest for 5 minutes. Then, uncover the pot and mix in the fresh parsley, loosening the rice and breaking apart any clumps.
