Egg Rice

Ingredients

1 measure table-rice

6 or 8 eggs

2 oz. ghee or dripping

2 oz. red onions

20 peppercorns

6 cloves

2 inch piece cinnamon

Salt

Procedure

Wash and boil the rice, adding the cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns and salt. Keep the rice warm while you prepare the egg. Beat the egg, first whites separately, then add the yolks and beat together. Heat the ghee in a saucepan or chatty, put in the onions and let them boil-they must not brown-then turn in the beaten egg, stir briskly for a minute or two, put in the boiled rice and mix well together. Before adding the rice to the egg remove the piece of cinnamon.
