Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 cups water
¼ cup butter
¾ cup broken pieces vermicelli pasta
1 cup long grain white rice
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon Greek seasoning, or to taste
Directions
Dissolve chicken bouillon in water in a bowl.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir vermicelli pieces until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Pour bouillon mixture into the skillet with the vermicelli.
Stir rice, black pepper, salt, and Greek seasoning into the vermicelli mixture and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cook's Notes:
This recipe also works well using instant rice. Follow the recipe exactly, only use the amount of water and rice called for on the instant rice box. Just allow it to sit a bit longer than called so that the vermicelli has time to soften.
This also works well using beef broth or bullion.
If you prefer a moister rice, add a bit more of water. If you like a drier rice, put a little less water.
