Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Wash the rice and set aside with water. Finely chop the onion and garlic and add it to a pot with fat (oil, vegetable fat, etc.) and let it brown properly. It’s important that the rice is not only translucent, but also not too dark. This will give the rice a beautiful color. Deglaze the onions with 8 cups of water. Now add the spices and peas. Once the water boils, drain the rice and add it to the pot. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then reduce the heat to low. Leave the pot on the stove until all the water has been absorbed. Serve with tomato and onion salad. This dish makes a great accompaniment to stews.
