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.

LEBANESE LAMB MEATBALL AND RICE SOUP
I don't know what the real name for this soup is, it was passed on to me by my mother who learned it from my Lebanese grandfather on my dad's side. It is made with Kafta; we used to purchase it at a Lebanese store, but here is a recipe to make your own: Kafta (Meatball Shish Kabobs) Recipe #238833. For the clarified butter you may use your own, but this how I make it-- Rendered/Clarified Butter (Samneh) Middle East, Palestine Recipe #322377. The soup is rich and fulfilling.

- Add the tomato puree and bring to a boil. Add the rice, chicken stock granules and the water, stir lightly to combine and simmer over low heat.
- Cook until rice is tender and add salt to taste.
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality lamb with a good amount of marbling.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of rice. Basmati rice is a classic choice, but you could also try jasmine rice or brown rice.
- If you don't have time to marinate the lamb overnight, you can marinate it for as little as 30 minutes.
- Be careful not to overcook the lamb. It should be cooked until it is just tender, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Serve the lamb and rice with a variety of sides, such as yogurt sauce, tahini sauce, or a simple salad.
