Moist Ground Lamb Pilaf


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 326

Ingredients

4 cups (1 recipe) Steamed Basmati Rice (Absorption Method)
1 pound ground extra lean lamb or beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large tomato, finely chopped
1 to 3 fresh green chili pepper, such as serrano, minced with seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons peeled fresh minced ginger
2 cloves fresh garlic (large), minced
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh cilantro, including soft stems
freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/4 cup , blanched almonds, slivers

Directions:

1. Prepare the rice. Then place the ground lamb and everything else (except the cooked rice, yogurt, cilantro, black pepper, and almonds) into a large nonstick saucepan and cook, stirring as needed, over medium-high heat the first 2 to 3 minutes and then over medium heat until all the juices evaporate and the lamb is golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

2. Add the yogurt, a little at a time, stirring constantly to prevent it from curdling, and cook until most of it is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

3. Add the cooked rice and cilantro. Cover the pan and cook over low heat, 5 to 7 minutes, to blend the flavors. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with black pepper and almonds, and serve.
