Sayadeya

Sayadeya is a traditional Middle Eastern fish dish made with rice, fish, and a flavorful tomato sauce.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the fish stock and lemon juice to the pot. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the fish fillets to the pot. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fish fillets from the pot and set aside.
Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir well. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place the cooked fish fillets on top.
Cover the pot and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
