Some reviewers have called this bland - I say it's mild, which sometimes is just what is called for to complement what it's served with. If this were a main dish I might agree it would be missing something substantial, but as a side dish it complemented, rather than competed with, the main dish. That said, I still "enhanced" it just a bit - I browned the rice along with the orzo, cooked it in chicken broth as well as the bouillon, and added another couple of tablespoons of butter and a tiny pinch of saffron. Just before serving I stirred in a little chopped fresh parsley for freshness and color. A really enjoyable side dish that's bound to make its way to my table again.

After reading the other reviews, I doubled the bouillon. This was good, but next time I will even add more bouillon.

Waaaaay too bland as written! Potentially easy to improve though. Next time I'd take the other reviewer's advice and add sauteed onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, slivered almonds, salt, and pepper. When I get around to that, I'll post my own recipe. =)

This is a great base recipe. You can add just about anything to it and change the flavor of it a hundred times. I added garlic and some salt and pepper. Nice recipe!

This was really good. I cut the butter to 1 T. and increased the rice/orzo to 3/4 c. each, with 3 c. of canned low-salt chicken broth (what I had on hand). The butter adds a lot of flavor - and 1 T. is plenty.

Sorry to be the dud on this recipe but I served this as a side to our pork chop/mashed potato meal and no one really cared for this. I used 2 chicken buillion cubes and sprinkled dry parsley overall for some color but we all wrinkled our faces after tasting this one. HOWEVER...once we started to mix it in with the mashed potatoes on our plates, it wasn't so bad...b/c then we couldn't taste it. Maybe the use of chicken broth instead of water? Additional spices? Not sure but I don't care to try this one again. Sorry!

We eat this about once a week at our house. My only tip would be to add more boullion. You can use beef or chicken. Soooo good!

This is like a cheap low salt version of RiceARoni. I've used vegetable and beef bullion and both were good. I browned a small chopped onion in the butter before the pasta, and added extra parmasan cheese. This is the sort of side dish that could be edited to match pretty much any main dish. And it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan like other rice dishes. I'll be making this again for sure.

This is a great starter recipe. My family loved it! I added two extra cubes of boullion, chopped onion (browned it with the rice), fresh minced garlic and tossed parsley in at the end. It was great.

Great side dish. I used chicken broth instead of the boullion and water, and sauted a little onion and minced garlic with the rice. We enjoyed this change from our usual white rice.
