🚧 The Storage app is currently in development. Please check back soon.
Born in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, this dish reflects generations of fishermen's wisdom. A large quantity of onions is slowly cooked down to a sweet broth, which is used to cook the rice, then topped with a beautifully seared white fish fillet — a fusion of Mediterranean seafood culture and Egyptian rice cooking.
Thinly slice the onions and slowly cook until deeply caramelized.
Set aside half the onions; add water to the rest to make a broth.
Cook the rice in this broth along with the cumin and coriander.
Salt the fish and sear both sides in olive oil until golden.
Spoon the cooked rice onto plates.
Top with the seared fish, garnish with the reserved onions, and finish with a squeeze of lemon.
