Lamb pilaf in 40minutes
Ingredients
- 400 g diced lamb
- 1 onion (large)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp mild curry powder
- 200 g basmati rice
- 400 ml lamb stock
- 200 g chopped tomato
- 8 semi-dried apricots (chopped)
- 2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
- 1 tbsp mint (fresh, chopped)
- 1 tbsp pine nuts (toasted)
Method
- Remove all visible fat from the lamb. Peel and finely chop the onion and sauté in the oil in a nonstick lidded frying pan over medium low heat until soft, transparent and just turning golden - stir occasionally. Push the onion to the sides, turn heat up a little and add the lamb to brown for a minute or two.
- Peel and crush the garlic with a little salt and add to the pan with the curry powder. Stir for a minute, then stir in the rice to coat it thoroughly. Add the lamb stock, tomatoes and apricot pieces, stir well and bring to simmer.
- Put the lid on and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed by the rice (add a little more stock if the mix becomes too dry). Stir in the fresh parsley and mint. Toast the pine nuts - put then in a small dry nonstick frying pan over high heat until golden, remove from heat immediately (or they will burn). Sprinkle over the pilaf to serve.
