This recipe is from week two of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every country in the world, and Afghanistan is my second stop. Kabuli Pulao has been called The National Food of Afghanistan. It is a flavorful rice dish, usually served with lamb or beef. Ingredients:
1 cup basmati rice |
1 lb lamb (i made a meatless version) |
2 cups mutton broth (you can't find mutton broth substitute beef broth.) |
1/2 onion, chopped |
1/3 cup golden raisin |
1 small carrot, grated |
2 teaspoons cumin |
1 1/2 teaspoons cardamom |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper |
1 teaspoon butter |
salt |
Directions:
1. Saute the carrots and raisins in butter. Set them aside.
2. Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a medium sized pan and cook the onions until translucent. Then add the rice and broth, bring to a boil, cover and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender.
3. Add the spices to hot oil and cook for a few seconds, until fragrant. Then add the meat and saute until just done.
4. Place the meat in an oven-safe dish, then cover it with the rice and bake at 250 degrees for 20 minutes.
