Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat ghee over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb on all sides until golden brown. Remove lamb and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened and golden, about 10-15 minutes. Add the whole garlic cloves and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in 1 teaspoon of baharat, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, ground coriander, ground cardamom, and beef bouillon powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the rinsed rice and drained chickpeas to the pot. Stir to coat evenly with the spices and aromatics.
- 5
Return the seared lamb to the pot, arranging it on top of the rice mixture. Add the whole cardamom pods and cinnamon stick (if using).
- 6
Pour in the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. Season with salt. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the lamb is very tender and the rice is cooked. If the liquid level gets too low, add a bit more hot water.

Once cooked, let the Qidreh rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick. Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Garnish with toasted slivered almonds and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
