Crispy Onion Vermicelli Rice | Air-Fryer Spicy Lebanese-Style Pilaf
Crispy onion vermicelli rice is a Lebanese-style pilaf made by toasting vermicelli and cooking it with rice, then topping it with spicy onions crisped in the air fryer. The air fryer's intense hot air crisps the onions almost as much as deep-frying, using far less oil.
Step by Step
How to make it?
2
Crisp the onions
8 minToss the onions with the oil and cook in an air fryer preheated to 190°C, shaking the basket occasionally, for 8 minutes until crisp. If you don't have an air fryer, a preheated oven at 190°C gets the same crispness in 12 minutes.
3
Toast the vermicelli
4 minToast the vermicelli in a pan until golden.
4
Add the rice
2 minAdd the drained rice, red pepper flakes and allspice and stir for 2 more minutes.
5
Cook
12 minAdd hot water and salt, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer over low heat for 12 minutes.
6
Let it steam
8 minRemove from the heat and let it steam for 8 minutes, then top with the crispy onions and serve.
Reminder
Spread the onions in a single layer in the air fryer basket — piling them up stops them from crisping. Keep an eye on the vermicelli while toasting it, as it can darken and burn quickly. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten).
Editor's Note Editörün Notu
If you cut back on the pul biber and add sumac instead, the pilaf takes on a more tangy character; the two spices are often used together on Lebanese tables.

Pirinci tarifte dediği gibi 10 dakika ıslattım ve pişince taneler gerçekten birbirinden ayrı kaldı. Şehriyeyi kavururken de tam 4 dakikada güzel bir altın rengi aldı.

Soğanları ince dilimlediğim için airfryer'da 8 dakika yerine 6 dakikada çıkardım, aksi halde yanma riski vardı; yine de yeterince kıtır oldular ve tadı gerçekten harikaydı.
