Steps:
- 1. EQUIPMENT You will need a deep 12 inch skillet preferably with a glass lid that fits tightly.
- 2. PREPARE THE VEGETABLES Chop the onions, carrots, celery and garlic, parsley and zucchini if desired.
- 3. SAUTE THE VEGETABLES Heat the oil and butter in the skillet over medium heat, then saute the orzo, stirring it constantly until it is golden brown about one minute. Add the prepared vegetables (except the parsley and zucchini) and add the salt and pepper. Stir until the onion is lightly browned, then add the rice, saute and stir until coated with oil and butter.
- 4. COOK THE RICE Add the broth and the water and bring to a boil, lower the heat to low and cook covered, until liquid is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Avoid removing the lid and letting the steam escape. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the zucchini, and let it stand 5 minutes. Zucchini will steam. Then stir in the parsley and serve sprinkled with toasted almonds. Enjoy!
