Syrian Rice Pilaf Mix — Jar Mix

This is based on _The Perfect Mix_ by Diane Phillips modified to suit our family size and preferences. The original recipe was double the size of what I have listed here, but since we are only 3 people, 3 1/2 (ish) cups is just way too much for a side dish for us.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

• Mix

• 2  tablespoons orzo pasta (rice-shaped pasta)
• 1  tablespoon  dried onion flakes
• 1  teaspoon bouillon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 cup rice
• 1⁄8 teaspoon turmeric

• Additional

• 1  tablespoon butter
• 1 1⁄4 cups water

Directions

1. Mix first 6 ingredients and store in an airtight container.
2. Directions to add: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and add the Syrian Rice Pilaf Mix. Stir to coat the rice and pasta with the butter, browning lightly. Add the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until the pilaf is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
