**Experience the symphony of flavors in Arabic-style rice with lamb meat, a classic dish that embodies the culinary heritage of the Middle East.** This delectable rice dish showcases succulent lamb meat, aromatic basmati rice, and a captivating blend of spices that dance on your palate. The lamb is simmered until fall-off-the-bone tender, while the rice absorbs the rich flavors of the meat and spices, creating a harmonious union of textures and tastes. Accompanying this main course are two tantalizing recipes: a refreshing fattoush salad and a sweet yet tangy carrot salad. The fattoush salad offers a crisp and tangy contrast to the richness of the rice and lamb, with its mix of crunchy vegetables, zesty dressing, and toasted pita bread. The carrot salad, on the other hand, provides a delightful balance with its sweet and tangy flavors, making it the perfect accompaniment to the savory main course. Together, these recipes create a complete and satisfying meal that will transport your taste buds to the vibrant streets of the Middle East.

LEBANESE LAMB AND RICE
I got this recipe from a Jordanian friend of mine. The rice mixture(without the lamb and after it has been cooked) can also be stuffed into baking hens before baking. It's delicious served with Pita bread, hummus and Mediteranian olives.
