Lebanese Vermicelli Rice | LEBANESE RECIPES

The rice to pair with roasted or grilled meats and greens. To make the rice vegan, substitute olive oil for the butter and vegetable inventory or water for the rooster inventory. Use vermicelli or angel hair pasta, damaged into 1-inch items earlier than cooking. 

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)

1/3 cup vermicelli items

1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced or grated

2 cups lengthy grain white rice

3-4 cups rooster inventory

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium saucepan with a lid, warmth the butter over medium-high warmth. When the butter is melted and foamy, add the vermicelli items and saute, stirring consistently, till the pasta and butter are golden brown.

Cut back the warmth to medium and add the onion, garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt. Prepare dinner, coated, till the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

In the meantime, in a medium bowl, rinse the rice with cool water 4 or 5 instances. This removes among the starch, to forestall the rice from being sticky.

Add the drained rice to the vermicelli combination, and stir to coat. Pour in 3 ½ cups of the rooster inventory. Style and add extra salt if wanted. Enhance the warmth to medium excessive and produce to a boil. Cowl, scale back the warmth to medium low, and prepare dinner for about half-hour.

Flip off the warmth and take away the lid, letting the steam warmth escape for five minutes. Stir the rice and style, including salt if wanted, and extra rooster inventory a tablespoon or two at a time to moisten the rice.

Serve instantly. If made forward, reheat the rice on the range or within the microwave over medium low warmth, first moistening it with a number of tablespoons of rooster inventory.
