    Recipe Introduction


    Rice Vermicelli with Artichokes and Olives

    List of Ingredients






    4 to 6 servings

    1 package (6 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken vermicelli rice mix
    2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 1/2 cups water
    2 jars (6 ounces each) marinated artichoke hearts
    1 medium shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
    1 medium clove garlic, peeled and minced
    1 medium red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely diced
    1/4 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, coarsely chopped
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    Recipe



    1. Remove the seasoning packet from the rice mix; measure 2 tablespoons and
    reserve.

    2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the
    rice mix and sauté until the vermicelli is golden brown; stir often. Add the
    reserved seasonings, broth and water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the
    heat to low. Cook 20 minutes.

    3. While the rice is cooking, drain the artichoke hearts and chop coarsely.
    Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium heat. Add
    the shallot, garlic and bell pepper; sauté 4 minutes. Stir in the artichoke
    hearts, olives and pepper; hold on low heat.

    4. When the rice has finished cooking, stir in the artichoke mixture. Cover
    the pan and set aside off the heat 5 minutes.
