👨‍🍳 作り方

1
If using whole beef, pound it until tender or finely chop it. This helps it absorb flavor and cook evenly.
2
Melt butter or shea butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown it on all sides.
3
Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Soak the dried dates in 1 cup of warm water for about 10-15 minutes to soften them. Drain the dates, reserving the soaking water.
5
Add the softened dates to the pot with the beef and onions. Stir in the reserved date-soaking water and an additional cup of water (or enough to cook the rice). If using, add the Fakoye spice blend. Season with salt and pepper.
6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dates to become very soft.
7
Stir in the uncooked rice. Ensure the liquid covers the rice; add more water if necessary. Cover tightly and continue to simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and has absorbed all the liquid.
8
Let the pilaf rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes off the heat before serving.
