How to Make Rice Pilaf with Orzo (Arpa Şehriyeli Pirinç Pilavı)
Sort and rinse 2 water glasses of rice. Place in a bowl, cover with hot water until submerged, and let soak until the water cools. In a pilaf pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add 1 water glass of şehriye (Turkish orzo) and sauté until golden. After sautéing, add 3 water glasses of water and bring to a boil, then add the drained rice and sprinkle with salt. Once it comes to a boil again, reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes. After the pilaf is cooked, cover the top with a paper towel and let it rest for a few minutes. Once rested, fill a soup bowl with pilaf and invert onto a serving plate to serve.
