EZ Homemade Rice Pilaf

I thought I would share with you my simple recipe for making delicious rice pilaf. I love the rice pilaf that is made by Near East, and I always wanted to duplicated it. I think (aside from the addition of pine nuts) I've got it! It's so simple, only 4 simple ingredients! I don't normally use white rice, but I sent my husband out to Costco to get some things, including rice and he came home with a 25lb bag of WHITE rice!!! But, now I get to make a really quick pilaf :) What you will need: 2 T. Butter
1/2 c. Orzo Pasta
1/2 c. Uncooked White Rice
2 c. Chicken Broth

Directions:
In a medium saucepan, melt butter of med-high heat. Add orzo and stir until pasta browns.
Add rice and chicken stock.
Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and cover. 20 minutes later, fluff with a fork!
I add peas to it at the end in order to get more veggies into the girls :)

I also took a picture a little while ago of the Beef and Spinach Curry that I have on the menu plan for this week, thought it might encourage a few of you to make it! I just bought two 1 1/2 lb flank steaks at Costco for $14.00 Not organic or grass fed, but this meal is too good to pass it by due to our budget. I added a link to the pic just in case:)

Enjoy!

Thanks!
