  1. I've always loved to eat this at arab food restaurants. Had I know it is this easy!
     
  2. This is really tasty rice which I made gluten free using rice vermicelli. I used half canola oil and half sweet butter (unsalted) or a little more. I used white Basmati rice as that is what I had on hand & sea salt, to taste. I would make this again!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I'm an American living in Cairo, have lots of free time and love to cook! My friend told me I know the science of food, that I am a food scientist; I was like what??? She said that I put together ingredients that she would never think of, that I know what goes with what, what tastes and works... honestly I really don't know about that, but I do love cooking. I like experimenting and making delicious, but simple meals. I love fresh ingredients, spices and enjoy preparing food for friends. I am so pleased when I see the enjoyment they get from my food. Please be patient with my recipe posts, some may seem lengthy, but I like to explain well so you will get it the first time. I appreciate this from others, so I hope you will too. Also, I never measure anything, so I will try my best to give measurements that will work for you. Anyway, enjoy my recipes on food.com!</p>
