Ingredients

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1–2 cups water
  • Pine nuts
  • Dried currants
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1–2 tsp dried mint
  • 1–2 tsp white sugar

Method

  1. Wash the rice until the water runs clear.
  2. Sauté pine nuts and onions over medium heat in a deep skillet with lid
  3. Add cinnamon, mint, salt, sugar and black pepper
  4. Add the rice and stir constantly until the rice turns translucent
  5. Add water, enough to cover the rice and cook on low heat.
  6. When the water is absorbed, check the rice. Add more water or spices if needed.
