Rice with dried fruits

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients before cooking. Peel the onion from the husk and rinse in running, cold water. Dried fruits can be used any that you like. I prefer the combination of prunes with dried apricots. You can add another handful of raisins.

2. Step 2:

   

   Dried fruits - prunes and dried apricots, pour boiling water for 5 minutes. Then drain the water, and rinse the dried fruits in running water. This is necessary in order to wash off all the dirt from them.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rice, also, rinse several times in cold water so that clear water remains after it.Onion

4. Step 4:

   

   Finely chop the peeled onion. Heat the frying pan to a hot state and pour a little vegetable oil on it. Then lay out the finely chopped onion. Fry the onion, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the washed rice in the frying pan to the onion and fill it with water in a ratio of 1:3 to rice.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put dried fruits on the rice. If they are very large, then they can be cut a little smaller, which I did.

8. Step 7:

   

   Sprinkle a little salt and spices to taste. As a spice, I use a little paprika and turmeric. Due to the fact that turmeric will be added to the dish, the color will turn yellow, which will certainly lift the mood. Mix everything and cover with a lid. Bring everything to a boil and reduce the heat to the lowest. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   The finished rice will completely absorb water. As you can see, the rice has turned yellow.

    Arrange the finished rice on plates and serve to the table. This dish will be a wonderful side dish for fish or meat dishes. Bon appetit!
