Sayyadiyeh is a beloved coastal Middle Eastern dish featuring flaky white fish atop spiced rice, usually cooked with caramelized onions and fish broth. Using Aseel Vegetable Ghee gives the dish a light yet flavorful twist while keeping it dairyfree.

- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp Aseel Vegetable Ghee
