    List of Ingredients




    Gourmet Rice Pilaf


    1 cup quality long grain rice
    1/2 cup vermicelli crumbled into 1 inch long pieces
    1/2 stick butter
    1 1/2 cups chicken broth
    1/2 cup water
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper

    Recipe




    Add vermicelli and butter in a deep, covered pan suitable
    for cooking rice. Heat until the vermicelli is golden brown.
    Add rice, chicken broth and water and mix well.
    Bring to a boil and then lower heat and simmer for
    25 minutes until rice is cooked.
    Turn heat off and let sit a few minutes.
    Stir the pilaf and serve.

    * Rice pilaf should not be gummy or salty. It is a very
    subtle side dish, and is a compliment to poultry, fish,
    lamb and veal.

    * Some interesting variations to the basic recipe above would be
    the addition of pine nuts and minced dry apricots,
    or sautéing 1/4 cup of minced yellow onions or
    scallions in the butter just after browning off the
    vermicelli.
