Armenian Rice and Noodles

My daughters call this "Noodle Rice" and we have some variation on it several times a month. I've used broken spaghetti, vermicelli, and orzo in place of the egg noodles (choose eggless pasta to be totally vegan...well, duh, you knew that!) I also usually throw in a handful of golden raisins with it and up the water just a bit to account for plumping them up - the kids eat those first! Be creative...substitute a little lemon juice for part of the water if it's going with fish, etc. A nice, reliable add-on to dinner, originally from "Betty Crocker's New Int'l Cookbook."

wow this was really good and so easy to make! Thanks for sharing this great dish! I added a little garlic and parsley just for funsies and I think it really enhanced the flavor. This is a keeper for us!

    Very interesting combination but very delicious. I was afraid that my family wouldn't like it but it went over very well. I have enough left over for a second meal so I hope it reheats well!

    What a great recipe winkki!! I used Orzo as my pasta/noodle choice per your request and the Armenian Rice and Noodles looked absolutely tempting!! It looked like herbed rice with almonds! I used Garlic Butter in place of the regular butter, Jasmine rice, added a 1/4 cup Lemon Juice (also per your request), 2 teaspoons Crushed Garlic, 2 teaspoons of freshly snipped Dill and a couple of pinches of parsley. This dish was very delicious and a perfect compliment to the Baked Salmon (Baked Salmon #69897) I served with it. Thanks winkki for your creative suggestions and a great recipe!!

    I used mostly chicken broth for the liquid in this recipe, and was happy with the extra flavor boost it gave the noodles and rice. I also used broken angel hair pasta instead of fine egg noodles, as this was what I had on hand. In the future, I would add finely diced onion with butter while sauteeing the noodles prior to simmering. I think that other seasonings to coordinate with the meal would be good, too.
