| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Wash and drain rice, put in pan with salt, pour boiling water to cover it and leave to soak for 2 hours.
|
2. Peel onions, leaving them whole. Fry in butter until light brown.
|
3. Cut the meat into pieces the same size as the onions; add to the latter and let fry until brown, together with the chick peas which have soaked overnight.
|
4. Season to taste, cover with water and simmer till the meat is tender. Drain rice and wash carefully in cold water.
|
5. Put it on top of the other ingredients, adding water if necessary to bring the level of the liquid above the rice.
|
6. Bring to the boil again and simmer till the rice is well cooked, adding more water if it seems too dry.
|
7. Serve with yoghourt. Bulgur or crushed wheat may be used instead of rice if wished.
