Directions

  1. Mix together salt, pepper, coriander, mustard powder, celery salt, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and pasta. Cook and stir until onions soften and pasta turns golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in spice blend, cook and stir about 30 seconds. Add rice and stir until rice is coated with butter, about 1 minute.

  3. Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a simmer. Stir, reduce heat to low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, cook for 17 minutes. Remove from heat, let covered skillet sit for 5 minutes. Remove lid and stir in parsley, fluffing rice and breaking up any clumps.

Recipe Note

Here's my version of what's often called 'the San Francisco treat,' although the next time I see this served here will be the first time. I used real chicken broth and a variety of seasonings.
