Why it works π‘
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 πΆοΈ
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.
