Steps:
- Heat oil and butter in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté orzo, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add rice and sauté, stirring, until coated with oil and butter.
- Add broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until liquid is absorbed, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly stir in zucchini, then let stand, covered, 5 minutes. (Zucchini will steam.) Stir in parsley and serve sprinkled with almonds.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh herbs whenever possible. If using dried herbs, use about 1/3 of the amount called for in the recipe.
- When cooking orzo, be careful not to overcook it. Orzo should be cooked al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite.
- If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water. However, white wine will add a more complex flavor to the dish.
- To make the rice pilaf, be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove the starch and prevent the rice from sticking together.
- When cooking the rice pilaf, be careful not to stir it too much. Stirring the rice too much will make it mushy.
- Both the orzo and rice pilaf can be served as a side dish or as a main course. They are also great for meal prep.
Conclusion:
Garlic herb orzo and rice pilaf are two delicious and easy-to-make dishes that are perfect for any occasion. The orzo is a flavorful and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. The rice pilaf is a classic side dish that is always a crowd-pleaser. Both dishes can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for busy weeknights.
