Advice

Rinse rice until water runs clear and soak 15 minβ€”you’ll get long, separate grains that won’t clump. 🧊

Why it works πŸ’‘
Hard caramelization concentrates onion sugars; blooming spices in oil extracts fat-soluble aromas; steaming basmati in stock sets starches for fluff, while finishing fish in the oven prevents overcooked edges.

Twist 🌢️
Replace part of the stock with caramelized-onion broth for extra depth, or swap nuts for toasted pistachios and add a pinch of cinnamon for a sweeter Levant note.

Status
