LEBANESE RESTAURANT RICE PILAF
Took me three tries but I finally nailed a restaurant style Lebanese rice pilaf. Nothing I tried online came close to this and I guess the secret is the right kind of rice, the right rice/water ratio and of course, plenty of butter and oil! Find yourself a good Lebanese yogurt marinade, grill some meats, and get a hold of some hummus. If you're from Southeast Michigan or anywhere else with a large Middle Eastern population, you will feel like you're eating at your favorite place! Trust me.

Steps:
- Soak rice in a bowl of water for 10 minutes; drain and rinse until the water runs clear.
- Heat 1/4 cup butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir orzo until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add drained rice and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir orzo-rice mixture until rice is coated in butter-oil mixture and starts to turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Pour water over rice mixture and season with salt; stir and bring to a boil. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is fluffy and tender yet firm, about 20 minutes.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir almonds until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add remaining butter and stir in tahini until almonds are evenly coated. Mix almond mixture into rice mixture.

- In a large pot, melt the butter or oil over medium heat, add in the noodles, and stir to toast them. Continue stirring the vermicelli noodles frequently to avoid burning them as they will brown quickly. You will know they are ready when they turn a golden-brown color with a deep nutty fragrance. This step will take ~4-5 mins total.
- Add the rice to the pot, top with cinnamon and salt, then stir to coat the rice with the melted butter. Toast the rice for an extra 2-3 mins to develop those deep flavors, making sure to stir frequently.
- Add the hot water to the pan and stir to combine everything. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer, cover with a lid, and cook for 15 mins.
