A delicious sounding pilaf! And like Jim, I love the browned vermicelli. I have made rice very similar, with the exception of the lentils and the parsley. Only yours sounds much better! Thanks for sharing, my friend :) Bookmarked + ^5

Michael - you've done it again! I love a good pilaf recipe and this sounds soooo delicious to me. I agree with everyone - toasted vermicelli is the ticket for a great pilaf and I adore lentils. And I'm with Jim - adding the green onions and parsley at the finish really is a great flavor introduction and keeps the integrity and beauty of the onions. Can't wait to make it and taste it - and it shall be very soon. Thanks, hon! High 5... :)
