Egyptian "Seafood" Rice

Directions

1. In a medium, non-stick pot, heat the oil on medium-high heat.
2. Add the onions and saute', stirring frequently, until onions are brown in color, but not burnt.
3. Add the water and salt, cover and bring to a boil.
4. Add the rinsed rice, stir and cover.
5. Once the rice has come to a boil, lower heat to the lowest setting. Keep covered and cook until all the water is absorbed (around 20 minutes).
6. Fluff with a fork. Serve warm with Egyptian fried fish or your favorite seafood dish!
7. NOTE: if you can't find medium grain rice, use 3 cups of Basmati rice, soaked for 20 minutes prior to using. You'll need 4.5 cups of water but this will lead more cooked rice.
8. Recipe Variations: You can make this dish with some flavor additions if you prefer. Options include adding 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 packet Goya sazon seasoning powder, and/or half a diced bell or jalapeno pepper. These additions can be added when the onion is a almost fully browned.
