Balaleet
*Balaleet is apparently enjoyed both as a breakfast item, or as a dessert!
-4 oz. uncooked vermicelli noodles, divided
-8 Tbsp. butter (or clarified butter)
-¾ C. sugar
-2 Tbsp. gr. cardamom
-2 pinches saffron , diluted in 2 Tbsp. of rose water (or water)
-4 eggs, beaten
-Vegetable oil
1. In a pan, heat 2 Tbsp oil and add half of the raw vermicelli. Lightly fry the vermicelli noodles until they turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Constantly stir with a wooden spoon, so the vermicelli do not burn.
Then add a large volume of water to boil the fried vermicelli. Once the water starts to boil, add the rest of raw vermicelli and cook for just 3 minutes. Drain vermicelli in a colander.
2. Add butter, cardamom, sugar and diluted saffron to the pan. Mix and heat until sugar is dissolved, about 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Add vermicelli back to the pan, mix and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Heat 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a separate pan. Add the beaten eggs. Tilt the pan in order to spread the uncooked egg. When dry on top, flip the omelet over and cook for an additional minute.
Serve vermicelli with omelette on top.
