Traditional Rice with Ghee

Plain rice done properly, which in a Jordanian kitchen means rice finished with samneh.

Total time
25 minutes
Serves
6

Ingredients

3 cups short-grain rice
4.5 cups water or light stock
3 tbsp Bader cow ghee
1/2 cup pine nuts and flaked almonds
1 tsp salt

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in several changes of cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
  2. Bring the water and salt to a boil, add the rice, and return to a boil.
  3. Lower the heat to its minimum, cover tightly, and cook 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
  4. Take it off the heat and leave it covered for 10 minutes to steam.
  5. Toast the nuts in 1 tbsp of the ghee until golden and set aside.
  6. Stir the remaining ghee through the rice with a fork, fluffing as you go. Top with the nuts and serve.
Keep cooking
