directions

  • Brown first 4 ingredients in a skillet. Pour into a 4-quart casserole; add remaining ingredients, stirring until well mixed.
  • Bake in 300 degree oven for 3 hours or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Be sure that oven is no more than 300 degrees.
  • (The original recipe calls for only 1/2 t. sliced almonds. I don't know if that was a typo -- but I increased it to one tablespoon - and sometimes even add a little more).

  1. I really enjoyed this recipe for Armenian Rice. I particularly find the rich flavor of the slowly cooked rice and bacon to be instrumental to this dish. However, I would like to suggest an alternative ingredient and recipe that I found worked well. Instead of the bacon that is called for I substituted in local organic grass and organic grain-fed chicken breasts. I suggest dicing up the chicken or other substitute such that they would be similar in size to diced bacon. As preparation for the long cook time, I went ahead and seasoned and simmered the chicken on low for about 10 minutes just to get them started. Be sure not to overcook the added meat before it goes in the oven. There are also several other substitutions that could be made to better utilize local food sources, perhaps organic turkey or locally grown wild rice. Enjoy!

This is a picture of me with my oldest grandson, DJ and was taken this past summer when we went on a cruise and land tour of Alaska. I am retired after working for the same company for 25 years. My husband is a retired military officer. After the military he started working for Lockheed and is now retired from there as well. We live in San Jose, CA and have lived in the same house for over 33 years. We have two grown children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. I love to try new recipes and jazz up old ones. Taste of Home and Southern Living are my favorite recipe magazines(I enjoy reading a little bit about the people who submit the recipes). Recipe Zaar is just an incredible site. I've made many new friends since joining. I have tons of cookbooks -- but now when I need a new recipe that I know I can count on, I come here! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/marienixon_715/kittencaljpg.jpg"> <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg">
