Servings: persons

3 1/2 cups water
1 chicken bouillon cube (the equivalent to be used in 8 ounces of water)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely minced
2 cups long grain white rice
1 cup fideos (short, thin pasta found where Mexican/Latin American ingredients are sold), or use vermicelli or angel hair pasta broken into 2-inch pieces
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1/2-1 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1
Dissolve the bouillon cube in the water and set aside.
2
In a large sauce pan, saute the olive oil and onion over medium-high heat until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the rice and the pasta and continue to cook, stirring, for another 5 minutes to toast them slightly.
4
Stir in the turmeric and parsley. Add the water-bouillon mixture and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the rice and pasta and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, cover the rice, and allow it to cook, undisturbed, for 20 minutes.
5
Turn off the heat, remove the rice from the heat, and leave it to sit for about 10 minutes. Add in the butter, and use a fork to fluff the rice and distribute the butter. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Serve hot.
