Comfy Cuisine- Home Recipes from Family & Friends: Rice Pilaf with Vermicelli

by •

My homemade version of the San Francisco Treat with less sodium and simple ingredients.

Ingredients

1 oz. vermicelli or angel hair pasta

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

1/2 small onion, chopped

1 cup long grain rice

2 cups low sodium broth (chicken, beef or vegetable)

Parsley for garnish

Directions

Take a small amount of pasta and break in 1-inch pieces.

In a medium saucepan, heat 2 Tbsp. butter over medium-high heat.  Add onion, pasta and rice and cook stirring frequently until pasta is browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add broth and bring to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes.  Add parsley and fluff pilaf with a fork.
