Rice Pilaf

Ingredients

2 T butter
1/2 cup orzo pasta
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups chicken broth or prepared bouillon.

Melt the butter in a lidded skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir orzo pasta until golden brown. Stir in onion and cook until onion becomes translucent, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Mix in the rice and chicken broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until  the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for five minutes. Fluff with a fork.
