Serves:
Ingredients
- ½poundangel hair nests,or about ½ pkg vermicelli
- ¼cupextra virgin olive oil
- ¾cupchopped yellow onion,(½ onion)
- 2fresh tomatoes,peeled and chopped or ½ cup crushed canned tomatoes
- 2cupschicken broth,or stock
- salt and pepper
Instructions
-
Choose a frying pan with a lid in which the angel hair nests will all tightly fit in a single layer (about 9 or 10-inches wide, depending on the brand of angel hair nests). In the pan, heat the oil until shimmering hot.
-
Working in batches, fry the vermicelli angel hair nests on both sides in the hot oil until golden brown in color. Remove from pan.
-
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add the chopped tomatoes.
-
Add the chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Bring the broth mixture to a simmer. When broth is simmering, place the browned angel hair nests or vermicelli in a single layer in the pan, nestled into the broth. The nests should cover the whole pan. Turn them over in the broth so that they get moistened on all sides.
-
Cover and cook for about 5 minutes until the vermicelli has soaked up the liquid. If the top of the vermicelli is dry, flip over the individual angel hair nests and cook 1 minute longer.
-
Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
