  • Put rice in a bowl, pour 2 cups hot water into it and add 1 tsp salt. Wait this for about 15 minutes. You’ll see how it turns out whiter within this time. Then rinse it well.
  • Add in 1 teaspoon lemon. Lemon juice helps rice not to stick each other, which is so important for Turkish rice pilaf.
  • Cook it stirring continually for about 5-7 minutes on medium heat. Pour 1 and ¾ cups water and currants, stir once and cover it.

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, place ½ cup raisins in a small bowl. Squeeze in juice from one half of lemon and pour 1 Tbsp. very hot water over. This will plump them up. Stir to combine; set aside until ready to use.
  • Halve and peel 4 medium onions. Go ahead and suit up with some protective eyewear, if that’s necessary for you. Thinly slice onions into half-moons (you should have about 7 cups). This is a fair amount of slicing, but it’s almost the only knifework.
  • Caramelize the onions: Heat ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onions and stir to coat in oil. Season with salt, then reduce heat to low and cover skillet (use a baking sheet if you don’t have a lid). Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and translucent, about 15 minutes. In this step, the onions steam in the liquid they release, which ensures that they'll caramelize more evenly, with less chance of burning.
  • Uncover skillet and sprinkle onions with ½ tsp. sugar, which increases caramelization. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook onions, stirring frequently and reducing heat as needed, and adding 1 Tbsp. water to deglaze pan (that is, scrape up all those brown bits) if it’s getting too dry, until chocolatey-brown and reduced in size by about two-thirds, 35–40 minutes.
