Simple and surprisingly delicious. I reduced the raisins slightly and doubled the onions. Cooked the onions until light golden. Tastes better at room temperature with a crack of salt.
Very nice side with lamb chops. Subbed chicken broth for the water to boost flavor and chopped up a handful of Italian parsley (mint would go well too) to stir in at the end. Imagine this would work just as well with couscous instead of rice.
