The Better than Bouillon No Chicken Base really helped my vegetarian version of Armenian rice pilaf taste delicious. I have not had it in a long time since it traditionally has chicken broth, and when I tried to make it with “regular” vegetable broth, it was not great. Can finally enjoy one of my favorite childhood comfort foods again 🙂
-1c long grain white rice (I used basmati—make sure to wash)
-Handful vermicelli egg noodles (broken up)
-1 tbsp oil (I used extra virgin olive oil)
-4 tbsp salted butter
-2 heaping tsp Better than Bouillon No Chicken Base
-14.5oz (429ml, just shy of 2c) water
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/8 tsp or more black pepper to taste (optional)
Lightly brown vermicelli noodles in oil in a saucepan, and pour out excess oil. Add rice, butter, water, Better than Bouillon, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and lower heat to simmer for about 18-20 mins. Add pepper to taste.
