Armenian Pilaf
Armenian Pilaf

Transport your taste buds to Armenia with this authentic pilaf that transforms simple ingredients into a dish of remarkable depth and texture. The distinctive technique of browning vermicelli in butter before adding rice creates nutty flavor notes and visual appeal, while chicken broth infuses each grain with savory richness. This traditional side dish complements Mediterranean and Middle Eastern main courses perfectly or stands alone as a satisfying vegetarian option when paired with a simple salad.

Ingredients
1/4 lb. butter
1 cups long grain rice**
1/2 cup vermicelli broken into 2 inch pieces
2 cups chicken broth, boiling
salt to taste

**This originally said 2 cups of rice; I think that is an error. So I would use whatever amounts of rice and broth that you would normally use for plain rice. For me it is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water, plus a tiny extra bit of water.
Directions
Melt butter. Add vermicelli and brown.
Add rice.
Add boiling broth.
Season.
Cook covered over low heat for 25 minutes.
