Ruzz Bi-L-Mukassarat (Rice, Fried With Nuts)

"This is an Egyptian recipe from an Egyptain site that I found a good while ago and stashed away. Please note that while the gizzards and livers are traditional they are also very optional in my opinion. No times were given so I took my best guess."

  1. This was fine but after not including the chicken liver/chicken gizzard it seems that this recipe would be more complete with it though as noted not required. I used soaked white Indian basmati rice, home made chicken stock that may have also had home made lamb stock in it, no sugar as I thought it belongs to the chicken parts, allspice in a smaller amount in place of nutmeg as we do not consume intoxicants, canola oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, plus the rest of the ingredients. Served with recipe#484797 and a fresh salad. I may try this again with the chicken. Made for Summer 2012 NA*ME TAG! (June, July, August)
