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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the tomato paste and diced tomatoes, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Pour the uncooked sehriye (orzo pasta) into the pan and stir well to coat the grains in the tomato mixture.

Step 6

Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 7

Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir occasionally to prevent the sehriye from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or light main course.
