Vermicelli is a traditional Middle Eastern rice that is cooked with long grain rice after being toasted in olive oil. Rice with vermicelli is delicious!
Heat the oil on high for about a minute. Then add the vermicelli and keep stirring until it goes golden brown – don’t let it burn.
Add the rice and mix very briefly, then add the water (hot) and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and leave it to cook on low heat (about 10-15 minutes).
Uncover the rice, stir, and cover again leaving it on very low heat for 3-5 minutes.
