đšâđł Instruktioner
- 1
Place lamb shanks in a pressure cooker. Submerge in water (at least 2 inches above the meat). Add the quartered onion, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, whole peppercorns, and whole cloves. Bring to a simmer over high heat.
- 2
Skim any impurities from the surface of the broth and discard. Cover the pressure cooker and cook on low heat for 25 minutes once pressure is built.
- 3
Allow the pressure cooker to release pressure naturally. Remove the lamb shanks from the broth using a slotted spoon, cover with foil, and set aside.
- 4
In a separate pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the lamb shanks and sauté on all sides for 4 minutes until browned.
- 5
Add the drained chickpeas to the pot with the lamb and gently mix.
- 6
Pour the spiced rice mixture over the lamb and chickpeas. Add 4 cups of the reserved lamb broth and the salt. Bring to a simmer.
- 7
Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is fully cooked.
- 8
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately, with the lamb shanks placed on top or alongside.
đĄ Proffstips
- âEnsure the rice is rinsed thoroughly to remove excess starch, which helps prevent clumping.
- âAdjust the amount of salt and spices to your personal preference.
- âIf you don't have a pressure cooker, you can simmer the lamb in a regular pot for about 1.5 hours until tender.
