@cooking.with.salouma: Vermicelli Rice 🌾 I’ve always loved eating this vermicelli rice with a few spoonfuls of plain yogurt. In Arabic, we call it Riz wa Laban (rice and yogurt) a simple combination that was a staple of my childhood. Making it today brings back so many memories. Ingredients: • 1/2 cup vermicelli noodles • 1.5 cups basmati rice • 3 tbsp olive oil • 3 cups water (follow instructions on your rice bag as ratio of water to rice varies) • 1 tsp salt Heat the olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Add the vermicelli and stir continuously until it turns a beautiful golden color. Add the drained rice and salt over the vermicelli and stir for 1 minute. Pour the water over the rice, give it a gentle stir, and leave it uncovered for 4-5 minutes until the water starts boiling. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Fluff it with a fork and turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy 😉 #rice #middleeasterncuisine #yummy #EasyRecipe #quickrecipes
