As promised in my Dawood Basha recipe post, here is how I make Riz bi Sharieh, the staple Lebanese style rice with vermicelli with just four simple ingredients! This traditional rice with butter toasted vermicelli is a great alternative to the regular rice dish. The lovely contrast in colour and texture makes it stand out and goes well with any Middle Eastern stew or main course. Did I tell you this is super easy to make too? 

A chicken version of my popular Daoud Basha stew with the same gusto of meatballs, potatoes and peppers in tangy-sweet tomato sauce is best served with buttery vermicelli rice. I thoroughly enjoyed making this several times since Ramadan and so you will find pictures of different attempts. Hope you will enjoy this recipe and share your comments.
