Armenian Pilaf   
 

 

Ingredients
 

1 stick butter (1/4 lb.)

¾ cup vermicelli

2 cups long-grain rice

4 cups boiling hot salted chicken broth



Directions
 

Sort and rinse the rice in a colander.  Break the pasta vermicelli into one half inch pieces or smaller.  Put chicken broth to boil in pan.

 

Melt butter in heavy pan/pot, or Dutch oven.  Add vermicelli  and cook until golden brown, stirring constantly.  Add rice and stir until coated with butter.  Add boiling broth and stir mixture once. 

 

Cook, covered, over low heat until the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.  Then, stir lightly, and reduce heat to warm, or let stand off burner for 15 minutes.

 

Used as a side dish for chicken;  lamb shish kebob, shanks, or chops.

 

IMPORTANT:  For best results, do not remove cover during cooking.
