Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 3 oz. vermicelli or angel hair pasta, broken into 2-inch lengths (1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 4 cups long-grain white rice
  • 8 cups chicken stock warmed
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
  • 1/3 cup mint leaves thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter. Stir in the vermicelli (or angel hair) and pine nuts and cook over high heat until golden brown, 3 minutes. Stir in the rice. Add the chicken stock, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of white pepper. Cover and cook over low heat for 25 minutes, until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed.
  • Uncover, fluff with a fork and cover again. Let stand for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in half of the mint; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with the remaining mint and serve.
