Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown chopped thin-sliced onions in olive oil until a rich brown, then strain and set aside.
- Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and add the reserved onions and oil along with all seasonings: salt, black pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and ground comino seeds.
- Cut fish into pieces and drop into the seasoned water, then bring to a boil and reduce to medium fire, cooking for about 20 minutes.
- Remove fish from the seasoned water and allow to cool, then bone and flake the fish, ensuring it is well drained.
- Strain the water, bring it back to a boil, and add 2 cups of rice, adding more water if needed.
- Cook covered on medium to low fire until rice is nearly done; when almost finished, stir in half the oil used for frying onions.
- Fold the cooked rice gently to mix, then cover and turn off the heat to let it finish cooking.
- In a separate pan, brown pine nuts in butter, drain, and set aside.
- Spread the cooked rice on a serving platter.
- Distribute the flaked fish evenly over the rice and sprinkle toasted pine nuts over all. If pine nuts are unavailable, substitute with warmed walnuts (do not fry).
