Cómo preparar Afghani Lamb And Rice Dish
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Soak 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads in 1/4 cup warm water; set aside.
- In a large pot, brown 1 lb ground lamb in 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the pot.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lamb is no longer pink.
- Drain the lamb, reserving the cooking liquid. Set the lamb aside.
- In a large pan, combine 2 cups of reserved lamb stock, 2 cups long-grain rice, the saffron mixture (including the soaking water), 1 cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup chopped carrots and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until slightly softened.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup raisins. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until the carrots are tender-crisp, onions are soft, and raisins are plump.
- Set aside.
- Lightly oil a 9x13 inch oven-safe casserole dish.
- Layer half of the carrot and raisin mixture in the bottom of the dish, followed by half of the cooked lamb, and then half of the rice.
- Repeat layers, ending with rice on top.
- Cover and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Remove from oven, garnish with the remaining carrot and raisin mixture and fresh cilantro sprigs.
- Season with additional salt to taste, if needed.
