Steps:
- To Make Chicken Stock:.
- In a large pot add the chicken, whole lemon, and 8 cups of water. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and cook for 1 hour, until the chicken is very tender.
- Remove chicken from the pot, and set aside. (Chicken can be frozen to use at another time).
- Skim fat off stock. When the stock cools sufficiently, strain into a bowl.
- To Make Rice: (use 4.5 cups of the chicken stock).
- Measure out 4 1/2 cups of the stock, and pour into a large pot. Add 8 cups of hot (tap) water, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- When the rice/orzo starts to boil, add the rice/orzo, and stir frequently to keep from sticking.
- When it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
- In The Meantime:.
- In a small skillet, heat the 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter over high heat, until it sizzles.
- Lift the cover to the rice, and quickly pour in the hot butter and close the cover quickly, as it will spatter.
- When the sizzling stops (a few seconds), remove the cover, and stir briefly. Remove from heat.
- Allow to sit 5-10 minutes before serving.
- The pilaf is supposed to be smooth and creamy, and slightly mushy.
- To Prepare Other Rice Ingredients to add to rice once it is cooked:.
- In a large frying pan pour olive oil, then add onions, and saute over medium heat, until just softened.
- Add the garlic, mint, and pepper. Saute for about 2 more minutes.
- Add spinach, lemon juice, tomatoes, dill, and tomatoes. Cook for about 4 minutes.
- Add to rice, and mix.
- Just before serving add Feta cheese.
- Note: Add more lemon, if needed at serving time.
