List of Ingredients



• 1 T olive oil
  
• 1/4 cup vermicelli, noodles, uncooked, broken into 2" pieces
  
• 1 1/2 cups white rice, uncooked
  
• 1 medium onion, chopped
  
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  






Instructions



1. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add broken vermicelli and saute until pasta is brown.
   
2. Rinse rice in cold water. Drain. Repeat this two more times. Add onion and rice to the skillet and cook, stirring over medium to high heat until rice is just beginning to brown. Reduce heat to simmer.
   
3. If desired, add chopped mushrooms, celery, carrots or peas, or any other vegetable that is on hand at this time.
   
4. Add broth to rice mixture and cover. Do not stir! Cook, covered for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit covered for 10 minutes more.
