Ingredients

300 g rice
40 g orzo
40 g butter
550 ml hot water
6 g salt

Instructions

Soak the rice in warm water for 20 minutes, then rinse until the water runs clear and drain well.
Melt the butter in a pot and toast the orzo over medium heat, stirring constantly, until deep golden.
Add the rice and stir for 2-3 minutes until the grains are coated with butter and start to turn translucent.
Pour in the hot water, add the salt and stir once. When it boils, turn the heat to the lowest setting, cover and cook for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Take off the heat, lay a paper towel under the lid and let it steam for 10 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork before serving.
