How to Make Onion Rice

This rice is wonderful with Salmon Steaks, Meat or Grilled Chicken.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 cups Egyptian Rice
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1 1/2 cups Dice Red Onions
• 1/4 cup oil
• Salt to taste
• 1 Teaspoon Cumin
• 1/2 Teaspoon Red Chili Powder

1. Put rice in saucepan with water, cumin, chili powder and salt. Set aside.

2. Sauté onions in oil until they are golden brown over medium heat.

3. Add browned onions to rice and cook over medium heat for 20-30 minutes.

4. Once rice comes to a boil: cover and lower heat.

5. Check rice at 20 minutes. If you can smash a grain of rice and do not feel any hardness in the center, it's done. If not allow it to cook longer.
   
   Add a Tablespoon of water if the rice seems dry and it is not done yet.
   
   Continue cooking until done.

6. Serve up with Salmon Steaks, Beef Steaks or Grilled Chicken and Grilled Vegetables.

Tips & Warnings

• Cooking Egyptian Rice is different than American Rice. The right amount of water is key. Too much and you have a gooey mess, that nobody will eat.
• Don't add too much water.
