Armenian Rice Pilaf, aka "Deej Rice"

Learned from an Armenian friend, David Devejian ("Deej")
Ari Rapkin

1/8 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup orzo
1/2 cup rice
1/2 can chicken broth (approx 7 oz.) plus enough water to make 1 cup

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add orzo and stir until orzo browns slightly. Keep your eye on it, since the orzo darkens quickly once it starts to brown. Add rice and liquid. Stir well, cover, and simmer about 20 minutes.
