1/2 cup olive oil or peanut oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup currants, soaked in

The original recipe called for white rice and wild rice. If you can't get wild rice, use a combination of white and brown rice. This would even work with only 1 kind of rice, but it would not make such an attractive presentation.
