Rice with Meat
Rice with meat is a versatile dish that works for a casual day or as a main course for gatherings and formal banquets. The secret is cooking the rice correctly to achieve great flavor and an attractive presentation.
Ingredients
Start here, then move straight into the method.
- 4 cups basmati rice
- 1/2 kilo ground meat
- 1/2 kilo meat chunks
- 1 dried onion, finely chopped
- 7 cups beef broth
- Salt, spices, and flavorings for boiling the meat
Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- Boil the meat chunks well with the flavorings (bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, whole cardamom, cloves) and an onion over low heat until fully cooked.
- Fry the dried onion until wilted, then add the ground meat and cook until the meat is done. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of seven-spice mix, cinnamon, and ground cloves, and continue to stir with the onions and spices.
- If desired, you can add two chicken bouillon cubes here.
- Place the basmati rice over the meat and onion mixture, stir well, then add cups of beef broth.
- Let the mixture come to a boil over medium heat; as the water reduces, reduce the heat and cover, simmering the rice on very low heat until tender.
- Let the rice rest for a few minutes after cooking, then fluff and serve with boiled meat on top and fried nuts to taste.
