Syrian Rice image

A Syrian friend gave me this. They got it off the internet because they missed their mom's rice. I wish I knew who to credit.My DH who lived in Lebanon when he was young even says this is like the rice his mom makes, maybe even a little better!

  • Wash the rice in strainer.
  • Soak rice for 15 minutes in hot water.

  • Be careful not to burn the butter.
  • Now drain your rice that is soaking and add it to the butter/ Spaghetti (or Orzo) in your pan.
  • Saute the rice for approximately 5 minutes with medium heat stirring frequently to avoid burning the rice.
  • You want a nice light brown color.
  • After rice is browned, add 4 Cups Hot Water and Salt.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The rice was mushy and the chicken was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This rice dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I would recommend making some adjustments to the seasoning.
