RICE WITH ONION (MASHKOUL)



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.
