For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing a clove or two of minced garlic along with the onions. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese are the perfect finishing touches. Adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice you use. Shorter grain rice may require less liquid. This dish is delicious served hot or at room temperature. For a richer flavor, use vegetable broth instead of water.
