Lazy Recipes

A few years ago a friend and I started a recipe website called Lazy Gourmets. For a couple of years all we did was search out, test and post new recipes to the site. Then life intervened and we stopped. However, the site is still up and you can still search the data base of hundreds of recipes at LazyGourmets.com
Here's one recipe that I use over and over. It's extremely versitile. I'll never buy the boxed stuff again!

Armenian Pilaf

There's no reason to go to the market to pick up a box of the "San Francisco Treat", as long as you have 4 simple ingredients in your cupboard.

1/2 cup raw spaghetti broken into 1 inch pieces
3/4 cup raw white rice
14 1/2 oz. (1 3/4 cups) any flavor broth or bouillon
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

In medium skillet saute' broken spaghetti pieces in butter, stirring constantly, until the spaghetti begins to brown. Add rice, stirring until the rice is well coated with the butter and the spaghetti browns a little more (sound familiar so far?) Carefully pour in broth. Simmer until liquid is absorbed.

Note: You can really play with this dish to liven it up. Make Spanish rice by reducing the amount of chicken broth by a half cup and adding a can of stewed tomatoes.You can also add garlic and onions to the recipe during satueeing. Experiment!
