RICE PILAF
As written, this recipe is free of corn, soy, and egg. It can be made wheat and gluten-free and dairy free by using the substitutions noted at the end of this recipe.
1/2 cup orzo pasta
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup brown rice
1 tsp dry basil leaves, crumbled
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup fresh or frozen peas
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups chicken, beef or vegetable broth
1 tsp sea salt
Heat the butter and olive oil in a saute pan that has a lid. Add the orzo pasta and rice and stir and cook until they both start to brown slightly.
Add the sea salt, pepper, basil, and peas to the pan. Stir to combine. Add the broth and bring to a boil. As soon as it starts to boil, stir it and reduce heat to medium low and cover the pan. Allow to cook about 40 minutes, stirring frequently, until all broth has been absorbed. Serve immediately.
FOR GLUTEN AND WHEAT FREE:
Use a gluten free orzo pasta or other small gluten free pasta shapes. If small gluten-free pasta shapes cannot be found, brake off pieces of brown rice spaghetti into 1/4" pieces.
FOR DAIRY FREE:
Use and additional tablespoon of olive oil instead of the butter.
NOTE FROM SOURCE: This dish is so easy to make and very tasty! It is excellent as a side dish with any meat, poultry or seafood. You can make it wheat and gluten free with substitutions and it can be made vegetarian with the use of vegetable stock instead of the chicken stock. If you must avoid chicken but don't necessarily need to go vegetarian, beef stock or consomme are also good in this dish. I call for brown rice in this dish because it is healthier for you, but most of the time you will see this made with white rice in restaurant and "rice mixes." Since I have mentioned it, beware of those rice mixes....they have all kinds of "foreign matter" in them. The foreign matter I am talking about is MSG, artificial flavorings, and other non-nutritive ingredients that defy pronounciation. These are not food...so quit eating them if you want good health!
