Add to the soup with tomatoes and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
Remove lime and cinnimon bark and discard.
Lift out lamb knukles and trim off meat.
Cut meat into small peices and return to soup.

Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes or until rice is very tender.
Serve hot with khoubiz (flat bead) and lemon halves to squeeze onto individual servings.
Enjoy.
