quick

This is a quick version of this Arabic rice dish common in Iraq,Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan and Israel. now that the heat of summer has started it's natural to want to be less time in the kitchen and this version of the rice is perfect for that, because the rice cooker does most of the job and it just needs a green salad on the side to complete the meal . I hope you can enjoy making this dish for loved ones ;)
