AL KABSA - TRADITIONAL SAUDI RICE AND CHICKEN
This was the first Arabic dish I ever made and it turned out extremely delicious, a new favorite! Serve Al Kabsa with a fresh mixed cucumber, carrot, lettuce, and tomato salad -- preferably with a little lime vinaigrette. Some fresh pita bread on the side would be nice also. Saudis like their Kabsa with a hot sauce called 'Shattah'. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix together the saffron, cardamom, cinnamon, allspice, white pepper, and lime powder in a small bowl, and set the spice mix aside.
- Melt the butter in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and brown them over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Mix in the tomato puree.
- Stir in the canned tomatoes with their juice, the grated carrots, whole cloves, nutmeg, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and the Kabsa spice mix. Cook for about 3 minutes; pour in the water, and add the chicken bouillon cube.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and cover the pot. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
- Gently stir in the rice. Cover the pot and simmer until rice is tender and almost dry, about 25 minutes; add the raisins and a little more hot water, if necessary. Cover and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until the rice grains are separate.
- Transfer the rice to a large serving platter and arrange the chicken pieces on top. Sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds over the dish.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb meat. Look for meat that is fresh and has a good amount of marbling.
- If you don't have basmati rice, you can use another type of long-grain rice, such as jasmine rice or white rice.
- Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking it. This will help to remove any starch and prevent the rice from sticking together.
- When cooking the rice, be careful not to overcook it. The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- If you want to add more vegetables to the dish, you can add chopped carrots, celery, or green beans.
- Serve the Saudi rice with lamb and potato with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Saudi rice with lamb and potato is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb is tender and juicy, the rice is fluffy and fragrant, and the potatoes are creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
