1/4 cup of oil
1 onion; sliced
1 c. frozen vegetables (I used peas an carrots.)
3 chicken cubes
4 cardamom pods
4 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
4 cups chicken stock (a little more might be needed)

1. Heat the oil in a flat bottomed pot.
2. Add onions, vegetables, chicken cubes, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon; saute until the onion are
translucent.
3. Stir in the rice and the chicken stock; cover and bring to a boil.

  1. Salaamu alaykum, Tammy. I was looking at an earlier recipe that had "soor" in it, but I don't quite know what it is. I'm from the Southern US, and we eat grits (which are made from corn/hominy, I believe). What is soor made from and where could I buy it?
    Wasalaam,
