Syrian Rice image

A Syrian friend gave me this. They got it off the internet because they missed their mom's rice. I wish I knew who to credit.My DH who lived in Lebanon when he was young even says this is like the rice his mom makes, maybe even a little better!

  • Be careful not to burn the butter.
  • Now drain your rice that is soaking and add it to the butter/ Spaghetti (or Orzo) in your pan.
  • Saute the rice for approximately 5 minutes with medium heat stirring frequently to avoid burning the rice.
  • You want a nice light brown color.
  • After rice is browned, add 4 Cups Hot Water and Salt.

This rice dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious without them.

I love the combination of flavors in this rice dish. The sweet and sour sauce is a perfect complement to the savory rice.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a bit more spice. I like my food spicy, so I added a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the dish. It gave it a nice kick.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of vermicelli noodles. But I'm so glad I did! The noodles added a great texture and flavor to the dish.
