Categories     Egyptian

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb fish fillet (thick cut, preferably boneless- mild flavor)
4 stalks celery (use only the leaves)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 large onion (sliced thin and in half)
2 large tomatoes (chopped)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 yellow bell pepper (chopped)
1 jalapeno pepper
3 fresh garlic cloves (chopped finely or crushed)
1 large lemon
1 large orange
1 tablespoon cumin
salt & pepper
3 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 cup unsalted butter (use 1 large stick of butter, not half stick)

Steps:

  • Spray a glass baking dish with a bit of non-stick cooking spray, or rub lightly with Olive Oil.
  • Wash the fish well.
  • Slice the fish into medium size slices. Not too thick or thin, up to you.
  • Lay the fish slices in baking dish.
  • Sprinkle generously with cumin, salt, pepper, old bay spice and add a bit of garlic, keep the rest for top later. Squeeze the juice of lemon over this.
  • Take remaining garlic, jalapeno, celery leaves and cilantro, add a half teaspoon of cumin and pound into a paste (using a mortar pestle or even a quick spin in food processor), does not have to be totally paste, but put together and blend well, spread this over fish. (You can squeeze lemon juice into this to make easier to blend).
  • Add all chopped vegetables, peppers, onions.
  • Squeeze the juice of orange into baking dish, top with pats of butter. You may add a bit more seasoning to top if you like.
  • Cover with foil and bake in oven at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes.
  • Towards end of baking, you may uncover if you want to lessen juices or to brown, but just as good with juices, great over brown fish rice with onion. (see my recipes).
  • ***LEFTOVER TIP*** If you make this dish and you have leftovers, the next day slice an onion, sauté it in butter, chop a small tomato, add to the onion and cook until a bit smooth, add leftover fish dish, and a few pats of butter...this way is even better than when made fresh the first time, it was for me anyway... ENJOY!

Ruzz Bi I Mukassarat - Egyptian Rice With Nuts image

According to the site I got this from, this rice mostly accompanies duck and is reserved for holidays because of the expensive nuts.

Provided by Mia in Germany

Categories     White Rice

Time 35m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups rice
1 medium onion
3 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon peanuts
1 tablespoon almonds, blanched
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Finely chop onion.
  • In the pot where you are going to boil the rice, melt 1 tablespoon butter and fry onions until light brown.
  • Add rice, fry, stirring, until slightly glassy.
  • Add stock, salt to taste (if necessary).
  • Bring to a boil, cover pot and let simmer at low temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and let the rice stand for 10 more minutes, still covered.
  • Meanwhile melt the other tablespoon butter in a skillet, add raisins and fry, stirring, until soft (about 2 minutes).
  • Add nuts and sugar to the raisins, mix well and pour into a bowl that is big enough for the rice.
  • Fill cooked rice on top of nut-raisin mix, press down and then turn over onto plate.

Tips:

  • Use uncooked rice: Toasting uncooked rice results in a crispier texture compared to using cooked rice.
  • Medium-grain rice: Medium-grain rice, such as Egyptian rice, Arborio, or Carnaroli, is ideal for toasting as it holds its shape well and becomes slightly chewy when toasted.
  • Toast in a single layer: Spread the rice in an even layer on a baking sheet to ensure uniform toasting.
  • Monitor closely: Keep an eye on the rice while toasting to prevent burning. Stir or shake the pan occasionally to ensure even browning.
  • Cool before using: Allow the toasted rice to cool completely before using it in your recipe. This will help prevent the rice from becoming soggy.
  • Store in an airtight container: Store any leftover toasted rice in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Toasted rice adds a delightful nutty flavor and crispy texture to various dishes, particularly fish. It's a versatile ingredient that can be used as a topping, coating, or even as a side dish. With its ease of preparation and numerous culinary applications, toasted rice is a valuable addition to any kitchen. Whether you're looking to elevate your everyday meals or impress your guests with a special dish, toasted rice is sure to deliver both taste and texture that will leave a lasting impression. Experiment with different types of rice, seasonings, and combinations to create your unique toasted rice recipes that cater to your taste preferences.
