Rice & Roni (Not the San Francisco Treat)

[Guest guest]

Vegetarian/Vegan

 

1 cup Basmati Rice (this rice is best for this recipe because it

takes the same amount of time to cook as the pasta)

1 cup mixed small pasta ( I used Orzo, Gemelli, and tiny broken

pieces of spaghetti)

3-4 cups veggie broth ( I used 2 Tablespoons Rapunzel Vegetable

Broth . It is Vegan and has Tumeric which gives the rice and pasta a

yellow color)

 

Lightly brown the rice and pasta in a dry skillet. *Careful not to

scorch. * I simmered mine for apx. 30 min. but I live at a very high

altitude.

Add broth and simmer until all of the liquid is absorbed and the rice

and pasta is fluffy and dry.

 

* You can also simmer the rice and pasta in the broth without pre-

browning. Browning the pasta and rice give it a

different 'nutty'flavor.

Browning also seems to make the rice and pasta less starchy.
