Ruzz Bil Mukassarat
(Rice with Nuts) Preparation:

Method:

Add a little oil to a pan and use to fry the onions for about 13 minutes, or until soft and nicely browned. Drain on kitchen paper then transfer to a bowl and mash with a fork until pulpy. Stir the stock into the onion purée and season with the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and black pepper.

Use the oil in which you fried the onions to fry the rice, stirring constantly until all the grains are coated in oil. Now add the onion stock and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook gently until the rice is tender (about 25 minutes).

Remove and set aside then add the raisins to the pan and fry until they puff up before adding to the nut mixture. Add the sugar and chopped gizzards to this mix and toss to combine.

Place this mix in he base of a round cake tin. Cover with the rice then place a plate on the top and invert onto the plate before serving.
