Wash the rice and soak it in hot salted water for 30 minutes.
Brown the vermicelli in butter until golden.
Add the drained rice and saute for 2 minutes.
Pour in the hot water, then cook over low heat for 15 minutes once it starts to boil.
Cover with a clean towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
💡 Tip: Soaking the rice first helps the grains stay separate and gives the finished pilaf a lighter feel.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve next to stews, grilled meat, or vegetable dishes.
