Yield: 4 to 6 servings
An Armenian dish that is traditionally served as part of the Christmas Eve feast. The meal also includes creamed spinach.
- 3 tbsp ghee or butter
- 1/2 cup vermicelli, broken into 1 inch lengths
- 1 cup bulgar
- 2 cups vegetable stock or water
- 1 tsp salt (if using stock containing salt, reduce to 1/2 tsp)
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)
1. Melt the ghee or butter in a 1-quart saucepan. Add the vermicelli. Saute on a low heat, stirring constantly, until the pasta is golden-brown.
2. Add the bulgar and saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Pour in the stock or water. Add the salt. Stir to distribute the grains and vermicelli. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the grain is tender, about 20 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and allow to stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fold in the toasted pine nuts, if desired.
