Recipes for children
Sayadeya is a beloved family dish from the coast of Alexandria, made by cooking rice with caramelized onions and spices in the strained poaching liquid from white fish. Its tender texture and mild flavor also make it easy for children to eat.
Bring the fish fillet, bay leaf, and water to a boil and poach for 12 minutes. Strain and reserve the cooking liquid, then break the fish into large pieces.
Cook the thinly sliced onion in oil for 25 minutes, stirring frequently, until deep brown.
Set aside half of the browned onions. Add the garlic cloves, cumin, black pepper, and rice to the remaining onions. Add the fish cooking liquid and salt, cover, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, until the rice is tender.
Scatter the reserved fish pieces and remaining caramelized onions over the cooked rice and serve.
Be sure to strain the fish cooking liquid before adding it to the rice, or fish bone fragments may get mixed in. Allergen: Contains fish.
