Armenian Rice Pilaf

Recipe Ingredients

6 tablespoons	90ml	Salted butter
1/4 lb	113g / 4oz	Vermicelli
1 cup	160g / 5.6oz	Converted rice
2 1/2 cups	592ml	Chicken broth
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Break vermicelli into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Melt butter in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Immediately add vermicelli and, with wooden spoon, toss with butter until rich golden brown, 6 minutes.

Add rice and mix, making sure rice, noodles and butter are well combined. Add broth and bring to boil over medium-high heat, 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered until broth is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes (check rice after 20 minutes). Turn off heat and let stand 10 minutes.

If rice is not being served immediately, remove lid, lay kitchen towel over pot and replace lid. This keeps pilaf moist and flavorful. Stir before serving and season to taste with salt and pepper.
