Rice Pilaf

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear; set aside.

Melt butter in a small pan and add the vermicelli. Cook, stirring constantly, until the vermicelli is very browned.

Add the rice, water, and salt.

Bring to a boil; cover and simmer for 15 minutes without removing the lid.

After 15 minutes keep the lid on but remove from heat; allow to rest, for 10 minutes.

Fluff with a fork and serve.
