  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Equipment

potbowloven-safe skillet with lid

Tips

  • Use fresh parsley for the best flavor or substitute the 1/2 cup fresh parsley for 2 tablespoons dried parsley.
  • If you don't have pomegranate molasses, you can mix together 1 tablespoon lemon juice + 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup.
  • Don't pack the filling too tight; the rice expands while baking.
  • Don't overboil the onions; they should be soft enough to separate but not tear.
  • Rinse the rice well to keep the filling from getting gummy.
  • Pack the onions snugly in the pan so they stay upright and don't unravel.
