Rice And Pasta Blend
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 pinch ground turmeric
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onions
  • 2/3 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • 1 1/3 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 3 cups good-quality chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
1
Combine salt, pepper, coriander, mustard powder, celery salt, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl to create the spice blend.
2
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to melt and bubble vigorously. Add diced onion and pasta, then cook and stir constantly until the onions become translucent and the pasta develops a golden brown color, taking anywhere from 4 to 6 minutes.
3
Introduce the spice blend into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about half a minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
4
Add rice to the skillet and stir until it is evenly coated with butter, taking roughly 1 minute.
5
Pour in chicken broth to add moisture and flavor. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to low. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and let it cook undisturbed for 17 minutes.
6
Remove the skillet from heat and allow it to sit, covered, for 5 minutes before proceeding.
7
Remove the lid from the skillet and stir in parsley to add freshness, then use a fork to fluff up the rice and break apart any clumps that may have formed.
