Comment préparer Auntie's Armenian Rice Pilaf

Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Cook until the foam subsides.
Add 1/2 cup of vermicelli noodles and sauté until they are dark and reddish in color.
Stir in 1 cup of long-grain white rice and sauté in the butter until the rice is fragrant and nutty.
Increase the heat to medium-high.
Pour in 2 cups of boiling chicken broth and stir to combine.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Sample the broth to adjust seasoning as needed.
Cover the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for exactly 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the lid and taste a few grains of rice to check for doneness.
If the rice is still a bit hard, replace the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
When the rice is tender, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Place a paper napkin directly on top of the pilaf and replace the lid.
Let the pilaf sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
After the resting period, remove the lid, discard the paper napkin, and fluff the pilaf with a fork before serving.
