ARABIAN ROAST LAMB FIT FOR A KING AND QUEEN, WITH SPICED RICE



Arabian Roast Lamb Fit for a King and Queen, With Spiced Rice image

This is a mouthwatering recipe for Arabian roast lamb and spiced rice, and it is truly fit for a King and Queen! Roast leg or shoulder of lamb which is cooked a la cuillère (to such tenderness that you can cut it "with a spoon" ), accompanied by rice with ground meat and nuts, is a traditional and central part of any Arabian feast. This recipe which I have slightly adapted, is from Claudia Roden's book "Arabesque". She says that she got the recipe from famed caterer Nazira Bitar, who prepared a banquet in Stockholm that was hosted by the King of Jordan for King Gustav and Queen Silvia.

Time 4h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

5 lbs leg of lamb (or 2 shoulders)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 onion, cut in quarters
1 head garlic, cut in half
2 1/2 cups basmati rice
1 large onion, chopped
3 tablespoons sunflower oil
1/2 lb ground beef
salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
4 1/4 cups hot lamb (use 2 bouillon cubes) or 4 1/4 cups chicken stock (use 2 bouillon cubes)
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup pistachios
1/3 cup pine nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425F degrees. Wash and trim the lamb of any excess fat, and pat dry with a clean cloth.
  • Rub the leg of lamb all over with the spices, salt, pepper, and oil. Place it in a large roasting pan and put it into the preheated oven. After 20 minutes, take the pan out of the oven, pour in 4 1/4 cups water, and add the onion and garlic. Cover the meat with a large sheet of foil and put it back in the oven. Lower the heat to 300F degrees, and cook for 3 hours.
  • While the meat is cooking, prepare the rice. Wash the rice in cold water, rinse in a fine mesh strainer under cold running water, and drain. In a large pan, fry the onion in 2 tablespoons oil until it is soft and beginning to color. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring, turning it over and crushing it with a fork to break up any lumps, until it has changed color. Add salt and pepper and all the spices: cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir well and add the rice, then stir again.
  • Pour in the boiling stock, mix well, and simmer, covered, for about 10 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender. Add a little stock or water if it becomes too dry. Drain (if necessary) and keep it on the side until you are ready to serve.
  • Fry the almonds, pistachios, and pine nuts separately in the remaining oil until they just begin to color. When the leg of lamb is ready, place it on a serving dish with the rice. You can cut the meat off the bone into slices, if you wish. Sprinkle the fried nuts all over the rice. Serve the flavorsome meat broth produced at the bottom of the roasting pan as a sauce. Heat it through and serve it in a jug, first pouring off as much of the fat from the top as you can.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your dish. Choose fresh, flavorful lamb meat and rice. If possible, use basmati rice, as it has a light, fluffy texture that pairs well with lamb.
  • Cook the rice separately: This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy. Cook the rice according to the package directions, then set it aside.
  • Brown the lamb meat: Browning the lamb meat will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice crust. Brown the lamb in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the spices and aromatics: Once the lamb is browned, add the spices and aromatics called for in the recipe. This will help to infuse the lamb with flavor. Common spices used in Arabic-style rice with lamb include cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cardamom.
  • Simmer the lamb: Add the cooked rice, broth, and any other liquids called for in the recipe to the pot with the lamb. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
  • Garnish and serve: Once the rice and lamb is cooked, garnish it with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley. Serve the rice and lamb with yogurt sauce or tahini sauce.

Conclusion:

Arabic-style rice with lamb is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect pot of Arabic-style rice with lamb that your family and friends will love.
