Ingredients

1 cup rice
21/2 cups water
1 tsp. salt
1 cup dark seedless raisins
1/2 cup pine nuts
2 tsp. freshly grated lemon zest
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup olive oil
Granulated sugar and cinnamon

Directions

1. Add rice to pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
2. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes without stirring. Rice should be well done and dry.
3. Remove from heat and add raisins, nuts and lemon zest.
4. Set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes.
