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.

Roasted Eggplant
The best way to make Roasted Eggplant is to cut them into large pieces, then bake in the oven at a high temperature so it seals the surface, making the eggplant cubes plump and juicy on the inside, with gorgeous caramelisation on the outside.
No sad, shrivelled up eggplant around here!
