Turkish pilaf with orzo "Şehriyeli Pilav" is our favorite side dish at home that goes well with almost any Turkish dish. With browned orzo in butter, it has a nutty taste and with hints, it is very fluffy.

Jenny Jenny tesekkur ederim. Selamlar Istanbul Dan 🌿🙋🏻‍♀️

[@sasharohm]

Selam Ayşenur hanım, I've made your recipe a few times now and it tastes absolutely delicious! The only difference is that after sautéing the orzo and rice together, I immediately transfer it to my rice cooker (a must have in all Asian households 😁) It makes the rice more fluffier! My Türk husband prefers my rice over his mother's but I told him never to say that to Anne or we will both get into trouble! Thank you so much for your recipe! ❤️

[@TFT]

My pleasure dear! Good trick you have 😊

[@davidcobb7446]

I made this recipe yesterday and it was delicious. I had a few people over for dinner and served this pilaf along with chicken thigh kababs and they were impressed. Thank you for the tutorial.

I made rice your way tonight for dinner. It was perfect!!!! I didn't have orzo so I broke spaghetti into one inch pieces. I did everything else exactly like instructed. It was fabulous!!! My family loved it!!! The rice was perfect. It wasn't sticky at all. My new forever recipe!!! Thank you so much. I'm still smiling over how my rice came out. I even kept a teapot with hot water on the stove to add to the rice!!!! Next the chicken dish!!!

[@TFT]

Hi Sharon, your welcome. I am very happy to hear that 😊 it is our family’s favorite too. Enjoy it. What type of rice did you use? Where do you live? Itncan help to the others trying to find the best rice other than Turkish ones we use

[@sharonmurrell9291]

Hello dear person. I live in San Jose, California. I used Mathama Long Grain Rice. We have many international stores here so I may have been able to find the rice you listed. We have many varieties in our supermarkets. I used what I had on hand . Next I'm going to use Jasmine or Basmati. We are quarantined here and all I have is a large package of Basmati so that will be next. There is no rice of any kind left in most supermarkets.

[@TFT]

sharon murrell basmati is a good choice anyway 😊 I used to use that when I wan living in New York years ago. Wishing you a safe healthy days ahead 🙋🏻‍♀️🌿

[@sabaarce2365]

[@gaurikashyap10]

You call it pilaf while in India this is called pulav and could be cooked with vegetables adding in it , I think many recipes and words are common in both countries

[@TFT]

Gauri Kashyap yes dear that’s lovely too to have common things

[@nithinkunneparambil2656]

The Turkic tribe residing in Central Asia migrated all over, one group settled in Anatolia (Modern day Turkey), So of them settled in Afghanistan region as a part of Ghanavid Empire like the Ilbari Turks and Khaljis...They are the ones who later set up empires in India starting from Qutubddin Aibak , Itutmish and all... later Mughals, who were also Turk-Mongol Mix, infact they spoke Chagatai Turkish Language, they came and ruled India.. So basically India has 600 years of Turkish rule.. We neednt be suprised at all :)

[@KamalikaMukherjee81]

@Mamma Roma And the Uzbek plov, another rice pilaf dish which is pretty similar to our Indian biryani (in Awadhi-style, we add aloo bakhras, a sweet-sour dry fruit too). Also, paella in Spain, another rice pilaf using various poultry, sea food and spices including saffron. Then, there's Somali jollof rice whic is made of a gravy of tomatoes, onions, garlic and chillies topped with fried onions. Maybe, in the east, China adapted it to make the famous fried rice, a different variety of essentially the same dish! Isn't it awesome? 😄

[@Coco_au]

Kamalika Mukherjee well next should be iç pilav on the menu from Ottoman Empire cuisine, that’s combination of liver dried fruits especially currants, nuts cinnamon etc. most delicious pilav ever or midye dolma which is filled with pilav like I described

I learned to make a similar dish from my mother about 50 years ago. After sauteing the grains in butter we flavor it with onion soup and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes in a covered dish. The onion soup is like a french onion soup. From Ohio USA.

Just discovered your channel - and love your cooking instructions! Precise if necessary, otherwise figurative and fully accurate when it comes to experience and feeling."The rice and the orzo should be like sand" - at the beginning you wonder, but when cooking it is exactly that: the rice behaves like the sand on the beach when building castles. I didn't have a homemade chicken stock, I used a high-quality broth, I think that's indispensable. Perfect result - thank you very much!
