👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Rinse the basmati rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain well.
- 2
Prepare the lamb/goat: Rub the inside and outside generously with salt, ground spices, minced garlic, grated ginger, and half of the vegetable oil/ghee. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Ensure the marinade is well distributed, especially in the cavity. - 3
In a large pot, heat the remaining oil/ghee over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions until golden brown. Add the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, grated ginger, and mixed whole spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

Add the drained basmati rice to the pot with the onion-tomato mixture. Stir well to coat the rice with the spices. Pour in the lamb/chicken broth and bring to a boil. Season with salt. Cook for about 10 minutes until the liquid is partially absorbed.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: The rice should be about 70% cooked at this stage. - 5
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Carefully stuff the par-cooked rice mixture into the cavity of the marinated lamb/goat. Close the opening with skewers or strong kitchen twine.
- 6
Place the stuffed lamb/goat in a large roasting pan. You may want to place it on a rack to allow for even cooking and crisping. Cover the entire pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is extremely tender and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach at least 74°C (165°F). Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the skin to crisp up.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Baste the lamb/goat with its own juices every hour to keep it moist. - 8
Once cooked, let the ghozi rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. Remove the skewers or twine. Serve the ghozi whole or carved, with the aromatic rice from the cavity served alongside. Garnish with fresh coriander and parsley.
