How to Make Lebanese Style Fava Bean Pilaf
- Mash 2 cloves minced garlic with ½ teaspoon of salt into a paste using the side of a knife.
- Transfer the garlic paste to a small bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped medium onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 pound of ground chicken and cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and the juices have evaporated. Season with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon allspice.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups of long-grain rice, 1 cup of diced butternut squash, and 1 cup of fava beans. Add 2 ½ cups of hot stock.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the reserved garlic-lemon mixture and gently combine.
- Transfer the pilaf to a serving dish, garnish with ¼ cup of chopped fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
