Ingredients

  • 1 large (~2 lbs / 1 kg ) whole fish , cleaned
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups uncooked rice
  • 1 ½ cups chopped onion
  • Salt
  • Lemon juice
  • Water

Directions

1

Fry fish in olive oil until well cooked. Remove the fish and allow to cool.

2

Fry the chopped onions in the same oil until well browned. Meanwhile, debone the fried fish, reserving the cooked fillets to be served over the rice.

3

Add the head, bones and skin of the fish to the fried onions and cook with 4 cups of water in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes, or for a longer time in an open pan.

4

Strain the broth and boil the rice in it using 1–4 cups of broth for each cup of rice (this will depend on the absorbency of the rice you use).

5

Simmer the rice on low heat so that most of the broth is absorbed.
