Method

  1. We start by boiling the bone-in mauzat meat with the aromatics until cooked through
  2. Finely chop the onion and place it in the pot with the bouillon cube and ghee, then stir until the onion softens
  3. Add the minced meat with the spices mentioned (the amount depends on the amount of rice) and stir until cooked
  4. Add the washed and drained rice, stir briefly, then add the broth from boiling the mauzat meat or bone-in pieces as needed for the rice (usually 1 cup of rice needs 2 cups of water)
  5. When the water comes to a boil and the broth reaches the level of the rice, cover the pot, reduce the heat, and leave the rice to cook
  6. Heat a griddle or nonstick pan and add the fillet meat, then sprinkle it with the same spices mentioned in the ingredients and stir until cooked
  7. After that, add the previously boiled bone-in mauzat meat on top and stir so it takes on some color
  8. Pour the rice with the minced meat from the pot over the meat on the griddle, stir, then transfer the rice with the bone-in meat to a serving dish
