A family recipe. Armenian Pilaf. Thank you @martascooking for joining me to cook this classic dish for me! It's simple and pairs with almost anything. My favorite is with chicken because that’s how my mom made it for us growing up. Enjoy this simple recipe from my family to yours!

Armenian Pilaf
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 cup fine egg noodles
- 1 cup medium grain rice (we use Mahatama)
- 2 1/2 cups water or chicken broth
- 2 cubes chicken bouillon (only if using water)*
1. In a medium saucepan with lid, melt the butter or margarine. Add the noodles halfway through the butter melting and toss them with a fork so the butter coats all the noodles. It seems like a lot of butter I know, but this is comfort food.
2. Brown the noodles for 5 minutes or so. Get them to a nice golden brown. As soon as they turn a nice golden brown, add the rice, toss for a minute, and then add the water or chicken broth.
3. Bring it to a boil. If using water, add the chicken cubes and stir to dissolve. Then, lower to a simmer and place the lid on top. Simmer for 15 minutes with the lid on, then turn it off. Let the rice sit 10 minutes before serving.
