Ingredients
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
- 1 cup orzo
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
- 2 (4-inch) strips lemon zest
- 1 Turkish bay leaf or 1/2 California
- 1 (3- to 4-inch) cinnamon stick
- 5 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup whole almonds with skins (2 1/2 ounces), toasted and coarsely chopped
Description
Since Sautéing Orzo In Butter Gives It A Nutty Taste And Toasting Almonds Makes Them Buttery, The Two Ingredients Are Perfectly Complementary In This Pilaf.
