Airfryer-toasted vermicelli rice is a classic Turkish pilaf made by browning the vermicelli in the airfryer instead of a traditional stovetop pan before cooking it with rice. Getting the vermicelli to colour evenly in the airfryer takes frequent shaking of the basket. It keeps its flavour well even served cold from a lunchbox.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Toast the vermicelli in the airfryer

8 min

Toss the vermicelli with the melted butter and spread it in the airfryer basket, shaking every few minutes and cooking for 8 minutes until golden.

2

Add the rice

5 min

Combine the toasted vermicelli with the rinsed rice in a pot, add the water and salt and bring to the boil.

3

Cook

17 min

Cover and simmer over low heat for 17 minutes until all the water is absorbed.

4

Rest and serve

10 min

Remove from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes with the lid on, then fluff and serve.

Reminder

Shake the airfryer basket every few minutes while toasting the vermicelli; left unshaken, it browns unevenly and some pieces burn. Allergens: contains milk and dairy (butter).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Soaking the rice in warm water for 20 minutes before cooking gives you a fluffier pilaf with more separate grains.

Editör notundaki gibi pirinci 20 dakika ılık suda önceden bekletip öyle pişirdim, taneler gerçekten çok daha bağımsız ve dağınık bir pilav hâline geldi, kesinlikle tekrar yapacağım.
