3 INGREDIENT - Lebanese Rice

This Lebanese Rice is a staple Middle Eastern (Arabic) side dish in my home that I make with only three ingredients: rice, vermicelli noodles and olive oil!

Here are some other videos you might like:

🍚 RICE INGREDIENTS
2 cups long grain white rice
1/2 cup vermicelli pasta
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash cinnamon optional
parsley optional, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear. Then transfer it to a bowl, and soak with water for 20 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
2. In a medium non-stick pot, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the vermicelli pasta and cook, stirring frequently until all the vermicelli is a deep golden brown color. Be careful not to to burn it.
3. Transfer the rice over the cooked vermicelli, and stir to combine and coat the rice with the olive oil. Season with salt and a dash of cinnamon, if desired.
4. Add 4 cups water and bring the mixture to a boil. The water will reduce in the process. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes.
5. When the rice is fully cooked, remove from the heat and allow the rice to steam for 5 minutes. Then uncover and fluff with a fork.
6. Serve warm with fresh parsley, and toasted nuts, if desired.

My mom passed away a couple of months ago, and I've been looking up for all the lebanese dishes I ate growing up. Thank you for your video. This is definitely how my mom used to cook her rice! I wasn't sure I was remembering right. ❤

thank you for your recipes! Just got married, my husband is part lebanese and his grandfather (full lebanese) has been a huge support for our relationship. He is the sweetest and the most generous. I wanted to do something special for his birthday coming up. I dont think hes had authentic Lebanese food in decades so I wanted to make a Lebanese feast for his birthday coming up. Very appreciative of these simple authentic recipes.

I'm Puerto Rican and I ate this plate in Detroit. I can eat this rice all the time I move to Florida and I've been looking for a Lebanese restaurant. I like my rice with grilled chicken and fattoush salad

Delicious.. Happy I found this.. Last recipe I saw used lots of butter. Which when followed was just full of greese. This recipe is 100% a winner, just made it with basmati rice together, works really well.
