Toast the orzo in butter for 3 minutes until light brown.
Add the noodles and turn for 2 more minutes.
Add hot water and salt, then close the lid.
Cook the pilaf over low heat for 10 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Remove from the heat and rest for 10 minutes so the grains do not break.
💡 Tip: Toast the orzo before the noodles to keep the color balanced.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with a meat dish and ayran.
