👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb shanks on all sides until golden brown. Remove lamb and set aside.
- 2
Add the whole peeled onion, cardamom pods, bay leaves, allspice, cinnamon stick, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, and black peppercorns to the pot. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 3
Return the lamb shanks to the pot. Add water and salt. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam. Lower heat, cover, and simmer until lamb is very tender, about 2 to 2.5 hours.
- 4
Remove lamb from the pot and set aside. Strain the lamb broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl. Discard the aromatics. Skim off excess fat from the broth.
- 5
In a separate pot, melt ghee or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and golden, about 10-15 minutes.
- 6
Add the whole garlic cloves and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the rinsed chickpeas and cook for another 2 minutes.
- 7
Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot and stir to coat with the aromatics. Pour in 3 cups of the reserved lamb broth. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and broth is absorbed.
- 8
Arrange the cooked lamb shanks on top of the rice. Cover the pot and let it steam for 10 minutes.
- 9
Transfer the Qidreh to a large serving platter. Garnish with toasted almonds and chopped parsley. Serve hot.
