Glossy caramel coated vermicelli strands cooked to tender perfection and topped with sliced almonds and pistachios for a warm, comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups thin vermicelli (about 150 grams)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (about 200 grams)
  • 2 1/2 cups water (about 600 milliliters)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 30 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Place a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the granulated sugar to the dry pan and allow it to melt slowly without stirring too much until it turns golden brown.
  3. Carefully pour in the water once the caramel reaches a deep amber color and stir gently until the caramel dissolves completely.
  4. Add the thin vermicelli and unsalted butter to the caramel mixture and stir to coat evenly.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the vermicelli is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle sliced almonds and chopped pistachios on top.
  7. Serve warm or allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Melt the sugar slowly to prevent bitterness.
  • Do not overcook the vermicelli to avoid a mushy texture.
  • Reheat gently with a small splash of water if needed.
