"Comfort heaven in a bowl for rice lovers" is what I would call this. The aroma and presentation of this makes you want to eat it even more;) I halved this recipe and made it for lunch this afternoon. I did use Sunflower cooking oil wherever oil was called for. I used 1/4 cup of vermicelli. As for water, I used 2 cups(since I felt the rice required 3 cups water+broth in total to cook since it also had veggies in it). I used 1 cube of Maggi vegetable broth with onions where the boullion cube was called for. This rice took exactly 40 minutes to cook in my pre-heated oven on CONVEC mode. I had pre-heated my oven to 180C and I cooked this at 180C for 40 minutes. I garnished this with some fresh finely chopped parsley - it gave a beautiful hint of green colour as well as its fantastic flavour to this dish. My kitchen and my living-cum-dining room smelt like we were in rice paradise! I love this rice and so does my mom. Thank you so much for an incredible unique rice recipe. I call it "unique" because this is the first time, I think, that I am using vermicelli in a rice recipe to make a rice dish. Normally, I use vermicelli to make vermicelli pudding. So, this was something special and went very well at my home! Thanks again for sharing! This is one rice dish I will repeat quite often!

Very delicious side dish! Very much like Rice A Roni in the oven, only much healthier.I made the recipe exactly as stated but omitted the celery - as I don't allow it in the house! Next time I think I will add some mushrooms and red peppers. Thank you so much for sharing this versatile recipe. Try this one!

Hi there Love4...I made your Vegetable Rice with vermicelli, it was FANTASTIC! I tryed not to burn the spaghetti pieces (after reading Sharon's review). I had veggie broth in my cupboard that had been there for a while, and I wanted to use it up. I made it just as stated, only I added some chopped garlic with the butter with step 5 (gotta have the garlic... DH just goes crazy for garlic..he even eats it raw...yuck!...so I add garlic to almost everything) I like the idea of baking rice, I think it inhances the flavor some how. We just love rice at our house, I am always looking for new and exciting rice recipes, and this is sure one of them ... This was just yummy, my family loved it. Thanks Love4 for a wonderful rice dish...I will be making this again soon, this is a real winner. Keep up the great work...love your recipes! :-)

Oh this was so good! I did burn the first batch of spaghetti, but the next one was perfect(I used angel hair pasta). I used vegetarian "chicken" seasoning. Loved it! Thanks for a recipe I will be using again and again! Great Recipe Dare payback recipe!

I made this last night, and loved it. I used a box of vermicelli, one medium onion, one large carrot, and all chicken broth. I also used parboiled rice, because I didn't have time to let it cook.
It was several steps to prepare, but I was able to chop and such while the other stuff was browning. I only cooked it for about 20 minutes until the verm. was soft.
Dh loved this and said it was a new favorite, very diffrent from our "normal" sides. I will put this in my monthy menu plan.
Thanks for posting it
