SYRIAN RICE
A Syrian friend gave me this. They got it off the internet because they missed their mom's rice. I wish I knew who to credit.My DH who lived in Lebanon when he was young even says this is like the rice his mom makes, maybe even a little better!

Steps:
- Wash the rice in strainer.
- Soak rice for 15 minutes in hot water.
- Put butter in pan, melt, and then brown Spaghetti pieces or Orzo using a medium heat.
- Be careful not to burn the butter.
- Now drain your rice that is soaking and add it to the butter/ Spaghetti (or Orzo) in your pan.
- Saute the rice for approximately 5 minutes with medium heat stirring frequently to avoid burning the rice.
- You want a nice light brown color.
- After rice is browned, add 4 Cups Hot Water and Salt.
- Cover and bring to a boil.
- You want it to boil briskly for about 5 minutes.
- Turn heat to LOW and cook until all the water is absorbed.
- This should take about 15 minutes with Very Low heat.
- You might want to stir once or twice to make sure it is not burning.
- Uncover when you are ready to serve and make sure to stir it again at this point.
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.
