Lebanese Pilaf
September 5, 2023
Lebanese pilaf is a simple rice dish that is popular throughout the Middle East. It is made with long grain white rice, vermicelli noodles, pine nuts, and butter. Some recipes may also call for a dash of cinnamon or other spices. To make Lebanese pilaf, the vermicelli noodles and rice are first toasted in the butter until golden. Broth is then added, and the rice is cooked until it is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. The pilaf is then fluffed with a fork and served.
