Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the vermicelli or orzo and sliced almonds, and stir until coated with the butter. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and almonds are brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Step 2
Stir in the rice and cook one minute longer.
- Step 3
Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid for a least 15 minutes to check for doneness. When done, cover and let stand for 10 minutes to steam.
- Step 4
Fluff with a fork and add seasoning as necessary. Serve and enjoy!
