Iraqi White Rice Recipe


One of the easiest Middle Eastern recipes, although its
simplicity does not reduce the authentic Iraqi taste you
will experience at your table.

Ingredients:
 
  1½ cups fine white Persian rice
  2 medium onions, chopped
  3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  ½ Tsp sea-salt
  2½ cups filtered water 


Directions:

  1. Wash the rice, soak in water for 1 hr, then drain it.

  2. Heat up the oil in a pot, fry the onion until it gets brownish,
      add the rice and cook for a few minutes while mixing the rice.

  3. Add water and salt, cover the pot and let it boil, then cook
     on a low-medium fire for 20 minutes.

  4.  Turn off the fire, and let the rice sit for 10 minutes.

  
        Bon appetite!
