Rice Pudding with Lemon Juice and Caramelized Onion (Egyptian Kishk) Recipe

Rice Pudding with Lemon Juice and Caramelized Onion (Egyptian Kishk) Recipe

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons white rice, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/3 cup sunflower seed oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 (6 ounce) container plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts, or to taste
  1. Heat broth in a saucepan over medium heat; add rice and simmer until rice is slightly tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook onions in the hot butter-oil mixture, stirring constantly, until onions are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve about 1 tablespoon caramelized onions for garnish; spoon the remaining caramelized onions into the simmering broth.
  3. Mix yogurt, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl; whisk flour into yogurt mixture until smooth. Blend yogurt mixture and 1 cup broth (free of onion and rice) in a blender until smooth.
  4. Pour blended yogurt mixture into simmering broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Garnish with reserved caramelized onion and toasted pine nuts.
