Wild Rice And Orzo Pilaf

Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

8 servings

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup uncooked wild rice
salt to taste
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups green onions, chopped

Instructions

Bring water, wild rice, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain excess liquid, fluff rice with a fork, and cook uncovered 5 minutes more.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cover and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter, peas, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until combined, about 1 minute more.

Pour rice and orzo into a serving dish. Stir in the pea mixture and green onions.
