The way Lebanese rice is prepared is very unique. It is very similar to a Western packed rice dish "Rice-a-Roni", but without the spices.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups rice
- 1/2 cup vermicelli, broken to small pieces
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 1/4 cups water
Preparation:
Brown vermicelli in butter in large pan. Add rice and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
You can serve this rice with chicken, lamb, or any meat dish. It is great with soups and stews, too.

Rizh (Lebanese rice), Member elemengee
Rice was a mainstay in my Lebanese household--it was the base for many Lebanese dishes. By the way, fasulia in my house always meant beans, such as lima, kidney and fava. Lubyeh was string beans, so we often had lubyeh oo rizh (string beans with rice) and fasulia oo rizh meant lima beans and rice. Just thought I'd add my two cents.
