Wash the rice thoroughly then soak it in warm water for 20 minutes and drain 

Add olive oil to a pan then toast the vermicelli ( angel hair pasta or fideo works fine also) Toast on medium heat stirring so it doesn't burn 

Add a diced onion and a whole head of roasted garlic ( you can cut the end off of the garlic drizzle olive oil salt and pepper and put in foil and roast 40 minutes in 400 f oven ) alternatively use 2 tbsp garlic paste and cook 1 minute
