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.
