How to Make Lebanese Rice With Sharia Vermicelli Gluten Free

  1. Rinse 1 cup of long-grain rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Set aside.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of broken-up gluten-free sharia vermicelli. Increase heat to medium-high and toast until light golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning (approximately 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add the rinsed rice and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir to coat evenly.
  5. Add 1 3/4 cups of water (or chicken broth for extra flavor) and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, uncovered.
  7. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
  8. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Garnish with toasted pine nuts (optional) and chopped fresh parsley (optional).
