STEPS
INGREDIENTS
Submerge 3 1/2 cups of jasmine rice in water and set aside
Clean the fat and bone from lamb chops use as much as preferred
Ground up hubhab this is a spice that can be bought at a Arabic or Indian market
Place the meat in a pot with; 4 bay leaves, 1/2 an onion, 1/3 tsp if hubhab, and sprinkle salt and pepper. Leave on low heat for an hour
Then add 5 1/2 cups if boiling water. Increase heat to medium for an hour. Then remove meat but keep the water aside!!
Boil water then add 1 tsp cumin and chopped cauliflower for one minute. Then rinse the cauliflower in cold water and drain. Let sit until dry
In a large pan heat veg oil and fry the cauliflower until a golden brown color
Chop 1 or 2 onions depending on preference
Then fry the onion (you can also fry garlic cloves if desired)
Peel, chop, and fry 8 carrots
Then in a large pot add the fried veggies. First the carrots then the cauliflower pointing down.
Then the onions and finally the garlic
Drain the rice and mix with 1/4 tsp of asfur (another exotic spice)
Add 2 table spoons of oil
Then add meat
Add rice with meat on top
Place the left over meat water on high heat
Add 1/3 tsp of all spice
Add 1/3 of curry powder
Add 4 tsp of salt
Add 1/2 tsp of black pepper
Do not stir let sit until boiling hot
Place pot on high heat and pour the spiced meat water on top
Fill until everything is submerged in water. Let sit until excess water has been absorbed
Side note: You may need to add or remove water if it is too much for the rice to absorb
Turn down heat to medium high and cover pot
Place a moist towel to absorb the steam
Place another cover on top and let sit for about 30 minutes
Turn off heat and remove coves and use a large plate or small pizza pan for serving
Use oven mitts or towels to shield your hands because it is time to literally flip the pot upside down
Then uncover your dinner
There you go, was it worth all the work?
I think so... Serve with a salad or Greek yogurt if your not lactose intolerant like myself
