Nutty Egyptian Style Rice Recipes

THE PERFECT EGYPTIAN RICE WITH VERMICELLI

Egyptian rice is a very short grain rice, grown in Egypt. It is not cooked the same way as medium or long grain rice. When cooked, it is supposed to have a fluffy texture, not at all sticky.

Steps:

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add vermicelli; cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour in rice and salt; stir until coated with oil.
Reduce heat to low. Cook the rice mixture, stirring constantly, until rice turns pasty white, 3 to 5 minutes.
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
Stir water into the rice mixture. Cover; cook until most of the water is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off heat; let sit until remaining water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.

NUTTY RICE

Entered for safe-keeping, from "Favorite Brands Best-Loved Chinese Recipes & More". The wheat berries add flavor bursts and textural interest to the brown rice. This is a U.S.-family oriented recipe from the California Tree Fruit Agreement. If trying to transition to brown rice, I recommend that you pass up Uncle Ben's converted brown rice, and get Texmati Brown Rice, because the Texmati tastes so good, and UB's disappoints (your family would insist on white rice next time). If you don't have wheat berries, use 1 cup brown rice rather than 3/4 cup brown rice and 1/4 cup wheat berries. Alternatively to a stove-top saucepan, put ingredients into a rice cooker, stir with a wooden spoon, close and press Brown Rice button.

NUTTY RICE

Adapted from Sandra Lee's Semi-homemade, the recipe posted on the website is missing the cumin she added in the show. Also, the original recipe uses instant brown rice, but I prefer using white rice. Since the rice is already cooked, you're just pretty much mixing and heating everything together to meld the flavors together.

EGYPTIAN RICE WITH VERMICELLI

In Arabic, this is called roz bil sha'areyyah. Tasty and rich, would be great with a simple lamb or chicken dish. This is my adaptation of a Claudia Roden recipe.
