Baked Rice

This riced called "Rooz Maamar" in arabic also known as Egyptian Meamar rice is the yummiest rice you will have. It's baked with milk and cream and butter and a touch of all spice.  This rice can be served next to many dishes including potato casserole or beef stuffed eggplant, both pictured below. 

Ingredients:

2 cups short grain rice

3 1/4 cups whole milk

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

2 tbsp butter

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp all spice

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush your backing dish with butter and add the rice. 

In a small pot, bring the milk, cream, 2 tbsp of butter, salt and all spice to a boil. Pour over the rice. Place the baking dish uncovered in the oven until the liquid starts to boil, about 10 minutes. 

Reduce the heat to 400 degrees and continue to bake until the rice completely absorbs the milk (20-30 minutes). If the top gets too brown, lightly cover with foil until done. 

Serve warm.
