-
In a medium saucepan, butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion has become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Add the rice and the Orzo and stir well to cover the grains with the butter mixture. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring often, for 3 to 4 minutes until the grains are sizzling. Look closely so that the grains do not burn.
-
Add the broth, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Take the mixture to boil over medium heat without stir. Stir once to scrape the bottom of the pot. Cover the pot, lower the fire to keep over heat and cook for 17 minutes (don’t lift the lid during cooking!).
-
Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes before removing the lid and sponge with a spoon or a fork. Deny with fresh parsley, if you wish. Serve hot.
Pasta: You can stand in small pieces of broken vermicelli for the Orzo paste.
