Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1.5 cups Sehriye (orzo pasta)
- 3 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the tomato paste and diced tomatoes, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Pour the uncooked sehriye (orzo pasta) into the pan and stir well to coat the grains in the tomato mixture.
Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir occasionally to prevent the sehriye from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the sehriye is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Add a splash of additional broth or water if needed to keep it moist.
Remove from heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or light main course.
