Ingredients

  • 2 spoons Oil, olive

  • 0.5 piece Onion, raw

  • 1 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 0.75 cups Rice, white, long grain

  • 0.5 cups Barley

  • 2 cups Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

  • 0.25 cups Pine nuts

  • 2 spoons Carp, soaked

  • 2 twigs Dill, fresh

Steps

  1. Peel, wash, and chop the onion and garlic. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add the garlic and quickly sauté for about 1 minute until translucent.

  2. Add the rice and barley to the pot and toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in the broth and season with salt. Bring to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes until the rice and barley absorb all the liquid. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

  3. Wash the dill, shake it dry, and divide it into 4 equal parts. Drain the capers. Mix the toasted pine nuts and capers into the rice, then distribute it onto plates and garnish with dill. Serve.
