Rice With Onion (Mashkoul) image

A good and simple flavoured Gulf Arabian rice dish which is standard accompaniment to most Gulf meals. Good with Recipe #372093 or Recipe #418079 among others. This dish may be made into yellow rice by adding 3/4 tsp turmeric for colour and is also very good with a chicken stock cube added to the water for more flavour. I recently made this with homemade stock and added some pine nuts to the onions near the end of cooking time until they were golden, it was really tasty. Modified from, The Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos.

The rice was a bit dry, but the caramelized onions were delicious. I think I'll try this recipe again with a different type of rice.

This rice dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs. Otherwise, it was a simple and easy recipe to follow.
