LEBANESE RICE WITH BEEF 🇱🇧 Recipe⬇️ Also known as Hashweh rice or what my family always called it, Ghouzi pilav. We usually serve this on holidays but it’s so delicious and easy, that I make it during the week.
INGREDIENTS-
1 lb beef (I’m using American Wagyu but any ground beef or lamb is fine)
1/2 onion minced
2 Tbsp avocado oil or oil of choice
2 cups Basmati rice (rinsed)
4 cups chicken broth
Salt & pepper to taste
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp Seven Spice or baharat
1/4 cup pine nuts
Optional nuts can include, almond slivers, cashews, cooked chestnuts, or shelled pistachios.
DIRECTIONS-
Add the pine nuts to a dry pan and toast over low/medium heat until just golden. This only takes 2 minutes. They will burn easily so don’t walk away. Set them aside.
In a pot over medium heat, add the oil and sauté the onions for 5-7 minutes. Bring in the beef and brown well. Add salt, pepper, and the seven spice. Bring in the toasted pine nuts and the rice. Cook the rice for just a couple minutes.
Pour in the broth. Taste the broth and add salt if necessary. Bring to a bubble and add in a Tbsp of butter. Lower the heat and cover. Cook until the liquid has been absorbed. This takes around 25 minutes or so.
Fluff with a fork and serve.
Top with more toasted nuts, chives or parsley, and my personal favorite, pomegranate arils. Enjoy and thanks for watching.
