Vermicelli is going to foam so you have to keep stirring to see the color

Looks good!! You can also use orzo to save the step of breaking up the vermicelli.

Yeah, pilaf! So many ways you can go with it. There could be raisins or dates or nuts, there could be different kinds of rice, there could be garlic or pepper.

I go a step further and add dried fruit(chopped apricots, cherries or cranberries) at the same time as the water. Rough chopped, toasted pistachios or almonds, after the rice steams and fresh chopped cilantro when plated.

A small amount of allspice, cinnamon, star anise and/or cloves can add to the wow factor as well.

My Lithuanian family had no tradition of anything like a pilaf, except perhaps a sweetened rice pudding for Easter. But I've had a lot of fun with rice-vegetable combinations.

When I first started making it I did use Orzo.The vermicelli just seems tastier to us.I found some small bags of the vermicelli, that are all small pieces I'll look for it later.
