Ingredients:
• 2 cups of rice (baldo or arborio), 450 g
• ½ cup of orzo, 100 g
• 50 g butter + 1 tbsp oil (olive, sunflower or canola) or 60 g clarified butter
• 3 cups of beef stock (boiling), 650 ml
• 3 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. Soak the rice in water with 1 tsp salt, stir and let it wait for 10 - 15 minutes, to get rid of the starch
2. Wash and rinse the rice thoroughly 3 - 4 times until the water comes out clear.
3. Drain in a strainer until the rice is almost dry
4. Bring the stock to boil and let it simmer to keep it hot
5. Using a rather wide pan with a tight lid, melt 60 g clarified butter at medium heat or alternatively 50 g butter + 1 tbsp oil.
Oil will prevent the butter from burning. Clarified butter does not burn easily as it does not contain milk particles unlike butter.
6. Once the butter is melted, add 1/2 cup of orzo and stir until it’s evenly golden brown and the butter is bubbly
7. Once the orzo is golden brown, add the rice and gently stir
8. Add 2 tsp salt (adjust depending on the saltiness of the stock)
9. Fry the rice for 5 mins until the rice is almost transparent and pearlescent. Constantly stir gently to fry evenly and do not to break the rice grains.
10. Now add the hot stock into the pot, give it a quick stir
11. Once it’s boiling, bring to lowest heat
12. Close the lid and let it cook for about 10 mins until no liquid remains in the bottom.
13. Open the lid and very gently stir with a spatula or large spoon to fluff and mix the bottom with the top part. This will help to an evenly cooked and fluffy pilaf.
14. Place a clean cloth or paper towel on top and close the lid. This will absorb excess moisture from the condensation and will keep the rice fluffy.
15. Let it rest for about 10 - 15 minutes lid closed, before serving it.
16. Serve with meat dishes such as beef kavurma and side dishes like yogurt or Turkish cacik.

My mum (English) used to make this with vermicelli pasta instead of orzo - She learned it from Palestinian students she lived with in Athens in the 1970s. I bet the texture of the orzo is really nice, I’m definitely going to try that next time. All of your cookware is so beautiful!

[@HungryManKitchen]

Yes, in Turkey we also do it both orzo and vermicelli. I like this one slightly more because of the texture! Thank you so much for the nice comments!

[@ruthbaker633]

The rice and vermicelli pasta is the basis of Egyptian kosheri, and maybe the Palestinians learned it from them, or the other way round. With kosheri you also have lentils, fried onions and hot pepper sauce - memories of Cairo!

[@angel.red69]

I remember going to Turkey when I was a child 3 times and having their rice.. was the best rice I've ever had and I feel like this must be it! So thank you

[@narniadan]

My parents never liked cooking and always cooked very simple things such as steamed cabbage and fish in oven or fried. I love cooking and through your videos learnt so delicious meals. Thank you.

[@NadaNuri]

😂😂😂 same here. But, i hate cooking more than they do 😂😂😂 and my kids seems to be in the same path too...and the wierd part is that my husband is a cook

[@halilc.7222]

0:43 - 1:13 this washing process is very important for turkish pilav. good recipe.

[@TheOtherSideOfTheStove]

I like the toasting process of the rice and orzo- the white contrast with the yellow orzo looks nice too!

[@HungryManKitchen]

Thank you chef!

[@pamelagileno5483]

[@nathaliegobillot8611]

Merci beaucoup pour votre partage. J’ai réalisé votre recette ce midi : il ne reste plus rien et nous nous sommes régalés. Merci encore et bonne continuation à votre chaîne.

[@HungryManKitchen]

Merci!🙏

[@BestMum398]

Yummi yummy

[@help8help]

That is the most beautiful pot I have ever seen. I’m guessing it’s copper outside and silver inside. I’m also guessing it was hand made in Istanbul. This is a pot for a serious chef.

[@eyd5603]

It's actually entirely made of copper. The inside is coated with stannous

[@anastasispanteliskargiotis4808]

Nice

[@elisabetta4478]

Must be yummy 😋 😜

[@eliaspetrov]

Use your recipe. So good! Love pilaf)

[@HungryManKitchen]

🙏

[@TheStockwell]

1:20 I gave you a thumbs-up when you brought out the copper pan. I need to have one. No - thank you for sharing your recipe . . . and your pan! 😸

[@HungryManKitchen]

Thank you! Yep, copperware is my favorite too :)

[@TheStockwell]

@@HungryManKitchen Compare is my favorite, too - and I don't have any, yet. But, I'm looking online and reading about how to take care of it. I'll start off with a pan like this one. My first meal will be orzo and rice pilaf, cooked Hungry Man Kitchen style! Have a safe and wonderful season. 😸

[@sr2291]

I might be able to tolerate orzo if I pan roast it. I'll try it. Thanks. :)

[@olivia9066]

👍

[@kyrastuart1920]

That looks very delicious. Do you ever add herbs or nuts to this dish? Thank you for sharing.

[@HungryManKitchen]

Sometimes it's garnished with parsley and rarely with roasted almonds!

[@baldrick1485]

This is how it is classically. But it is also enriched by adding pre-fried mushrooms. pre-fried eggplant pieces, chickpeas and boiled chicken breast (not all at the same time of course :))). In a version called the "Sultan's pilav" you add herbs, pistachio and almonds like you say. Also very very tasty.

[@Animeaddictfreak]

Can I use any short grain rice instead of baldo etc like risotto?

[@sunshineseaandvitamind8620]

Can this rice be used for your Uzbek plov?

[@HungryManKitchen]

Yes it will work

[@Knudby]

Best damn rice I've ever tasted, almost no need for anything else =D

[@user-nn9wd7ks8o]

Μου επιτρέπετε να ρωτήσω, πως συντηρείτε τα χάλκινα σκεύη? Με στάχτη? Υπάρχει γανωτής(tinker;;) στις μέρες μας? Ειδικά εκεί που μένετε?

[@halilc.7222]

Bakırın bakımı beze kalay sürülüp ısıtılır ve bakır tencereye sürülür. Herkesin yapamaz. bu işin ustaları var. Yunanistan da olması mümkün olabilir.

[@TheChio116]

What was the music playing in the background?

[@marjannoora8077]

Hi, what is orzo is it kind of rice ?

[@HungryManKitchen]

Hello! Orzo is a form of short-cut pasta, also known as risoni and shaped like a large grain of rice. It adds a nutty flavor to pilaf when roasted with butter.

[@sheepgomeeep]

What is the difference between baldo rice and tosya rice?

[@HungryManKitchen]

They are very similar, both are short grain and medium starchy. Both of them are grown both in Italy and Turkey and as far as I know they are both hybrids of arborio rice, they both work very well for traditional pilafs.

[@snowrainstandoff2905]

big and short grains and not broken

[@AnythingWithAbeat]

What is orzo?

[@ruthbaker633]

Ah, when you said orzo I thought you meant barley - orzo is the Italian for barley (hordeum vulgare is the scientific name). But I see you mean the short pasta shaped like barley. Do you think barley would work as well?

[@HungryManKitchen]

Yes, it's the short pasta. For this recipe, barley would not work but if it's pre-cooked, drained and dried, I think it might work.

[@guneygacka774]

Where is Cacık?? 😊😊

[@dadanene6820]

Peygamber sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Eğer Allah'tan cenneti dilerseniz, O'ndan cenneti" Firdaws" isteyin; çünkü orası cennetin ortası ve cennetin en yükseğidir ve onun üstünde Rahman'ın Arşı vardır. oradan Cennet ırmakları akar."
