Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb stewing lamb (lamb or beef but lamb is preferable, meat can be with bones or boneless)
2 teaspoons khaleeji mixed spice (I use half Gulf Spices (Ibzar) & half Baharat Aka Middle East Mixed Spices - the Real Mix to be less spicy)
cooking oil (I use olive)
1 large onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 large tomatoes (Original poster prefers Italian plum tomatoes I use a good canned version) or 6 small tomatoes, diced (Original poster prefers Italian plum tomatoes)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
water
2 dried limes pierced a few times with a skewers (loomi Found in some Middle Eastern or Iranian shops)
salt, to taste
1 cup basmati rice (soaked)

Steps:

  • Rub meat with spices.
  • Fry in cooking oil until browned on all sides. (I love to use a cast iron pan for this part).
  • Remove to plate.
  • Fry onions and garlic in same pan until very soft, adding tomatoes part way through so they get cooked as well.
  • Add meat to a large pot along with tomato mixture, add in tomato paste, mix thoroughly.
  • Add water to cover, pierced dried limes and salt to taste.
  • Bring to the boil.
  • Simmer covered on low until meat is tender.
  • Remove liquid so that the amount of liquid left in the pot is what you would usually cook rice inches.
  • Add soaked white basmati rice.
  • Simmer covered until the rice is done.
