Good, but could benifet from some added spices or vegtables such as garlic or onion. Not having had Armenian food before, maybe this is supposed to be a "plain" side dish to other foods. -
This is the exact recipe an Armenian friend gave to me. I always use it when I make Easma Kufta to put the meatballs over. The only thing I do differently is cook it in a skillet. It is perfect as is! Easy and quick. -
I did not change a thing and it came out perfect. Loved it served as a side dish to my chicken and broccoli casserole tonight! I used Swanson chicken broth and Publix supermarket brand fine Egg Noodles. This recipe is a keeper.

This rice is just perfect. There is no need to add soy sauce when eating. My son always wants to add soy sauce but for this rice, he didn't ask for the bottle. Thanks MizzNezz -
Great, simple recipe. It really shines with homemade stock. Using this recipe as a base, you can let your imagination run wild with various seasonings, onion, herbs, mushrooms, etc... Every cook should have this one in their back pocket.

We make this all the time at home. We use orzo instead of the vermicelli ( no breaking up the pasta)

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
