Rice and Vermicelli (Rice-A-Roni) image

Home made rice-a-roni. Its just as easy to make, and significantly cheaper. You can find the short pieces of vermicelli in little bags by the Mexican food in most grocery stores, or you can bust up spaghetti noodles into 2 inch pieces. I buy the big cans of gravy mix, they last forever and are much cheaper than the little packets. I also keep frozen diced onions in my freezer for stuff like this.

Time 20m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/8 cup rice
3/8 cup vermicelli
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken gravy mix
1 tablespoon onion
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • I make the noodle / rice blend up in a big batch ahead of time, and then measure out 3/4 cup when I want to use it. Simply mix equal amounts of noodles and rice. To make a single serving, I pour rice halfway to the 3/4 mark in my pyrex measuring cup, and then fill it the rest of the way with the pasta. Very easy.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet. Add 3/4 cup of the rice/noodle mix, and brown, stirring frequently for a minute or two.
  • Add the water, gravy mix, onion, and parsley. Heat to boiling, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes.

Got this from the Rice-a-Roni recipe site. I use Rice-a-Roni quite often in different dishes when I am in a hurry and need to make something faster. Plus, it gives everything a jump start in the flavor departmnet. If you want to make this a vegetarian dish, leave out the chicken and add a can of drained vegetarian "Fri-chick" in place of the real chicken.

Tips:

  • Follow the measurements accurately: Using the correct proportions of ingredients is essential for a successful Rice-A-Roni dish. Measure your ingredients using measuring cups or a kitchen scale for precise results.
  • Use unsalted butter or margarine: If you prefer to use salted butter or margarine, omit the additional salt from the recipe to prevent the dish from becoming too salty.
  • Toast the rice and pasta: Toasting the rice and pasta in butter enhances their flavor and gives them a nutty aroma. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • Add the seasonings according to taste: The amount of salt and pepper in the recipe is a suggested starting point. Adjust the seasonings to your preference. You can also add other herbs and spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for extra flavor.
  • Use a large pot: As the rice and pasta expand during cooking, it's important to use a large enough pot to prevent boil overs. A 2-quart saucepan or larger is recommended.
  • Cover the pot during cooking: Keep the pot covered while the rice and pasta are cooking to allow the steam to circulate and cook the ingredients evenly.
  • Let it rest before serving: Once the Rice-A-Roni is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before fluffing and serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb any remaining liquid.
