👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure oven is fully preheated before placing the lamb. - 2
Rub the lamb all over with salt, pepper, turmeric, and 2 tablespoons of the 7-spice blend. If using large cuts, make incisions and rub spices in.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Allow lamb to marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator. - 3
In a large roasting pan or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb on all sides until browned.
- 4
Remove the lamb from the pan and set aside. Add chopped onions to the pan and sauté until softened and lightly browned.
- 5
Add minced garlic and diced tomatoes to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes until tomatoes begin to break down.
- 6
Stir in the tomato paste and the remaining 1 tablespoon of 7-spice blend. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 7
Return the lamb to the pan. Add the lamb broth or water, dried limes, and season with salt and pepper. The liquid should come about halfway up the lamb.
💡 Профессиональные советы: If using a whole lamb, you may need a larger vessel or to adjust liquid levels. - 8
Cover the pan tightly with foil or a lid and place in the preheated oven. Roast for 3-4 hours, or until the lamb is fork-tender and falling off the bone.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Baste the lamb with pan juices every hour. - 9
While the lamb is roasting, rinse the basmati rice thoroughly. In a separate pot, combine rice, 6 cups of water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked and fluffy. Stir in soaked raisins just before serving.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Do not overcook the rice; it should remain separate grains. - 10
Once the lamb is tender, carefully remove it from the pan. Strain the cooking liquid, discarding solids. Skim off excess fat from the liquid.
💡 Профессиональные советы: You can thicken the sauce slightly by simmering it on the stovetop if desired. - 11
To serve, spread the spiced rice on a large platter. Place the tender lamb on top of the rice. Drizzle with some of the reduced cooking liquid. Garnish with toasted almonds or pine nuts.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Serve the remaining sauce on the side.
