So what kind of rice should you use? In Turkey, pilav is most commonly made using Baldorice. This is a plump short grain rice, similar to the Italian Arborio or risotto rice, but with a shorter cooking time. If you cannot find Baldo, Arborio rice will work just as well. It holds its shape well when cooked – also making it ideal stirred into soup.
Many years ago I found a tatty old Turkish cookbook which suggested sautéing the rice first in butter. It creates a wonderful nutty aroma and the grains remain fluffy without sticking together. I have been using this technique ever since and it makes a perfect bowl of rice every time!
Baldo rice absorbs more water than basmati, so use double the amount of water to rice. Use the ratio of 1:2 rice to water. For 1 cup Baldo rice, use 2 cups water Turkish rice should not be sticky so rinse the ricetill the water runs clear to remove the starch. This will prevent it from becoming sticky.
This recipe uses Orzopasta, but you could use small strand vermicelli. Note:vermicelli needs to roast for half the time and be careful as it burns quickly. 1. Brown the orzo in the butter and oil taking care not to let it burn, then add the drained rice. 2. Sauté the rice till it changes colour and the grains are coated in butter then add hot water...
Turkish rice will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir into soup, mix with salads or serve warm with meat or vegetable dishes.
