Instructions

  1. Clean the fish thoroughly, then add it to the oil in a pan and fry until cooked through.

  3. Meanwhile, chop the onions finely, fry them in the pan where you fried the fish until they turn color, then add them to the fish you cooked in the water to get the taste and color of the onions.
  4. Remove the fish from the pot when the water boils. Remove the skin and bones from the fish and set aside the water you boiled the fish in for later use.
  5. Clean and wash the rice for Sayadieh. Soak for 30 minutes in hot water, and then drain.
  6. Then fry the finely chopped onion in a saucepan until it turns maroon, add the rice, and mix well.
  7. Then sprinkle salt, cumin, other spices, and cinnamon while stirring the rice. Pour the brown sauce that you have kept aside and keep the rice over medium heat.
  8. While the rice is cooking, add the butter to a saucepan to prepare the sauce, then add the flour and roast it. After the flour is fragrant, add all the ingredients to this mixture and stir until it thickens.
  9. Roast the pine nuts in a pan.
  10. Pour the sauce on a serving plate, place the sayadiehi on top, and place the fish on top. Finally, garnish with pine nuts, and serve.
