👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Wipe quinces clean. Slice off the tops and bottoms. Halve them lengthwise. Scoop out the cores and seeds, leaving a ½-inch thick shell. Chop the scooped-out quince flesh and set aside. Place the hollowed-out quince halves in a bowl with 1 tsp lemon juice and water to prevent browning.
- 2
In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the chopped quince flesh and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender.
- 3
In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, uncooked rice, sautéed onion and quince mixture, chopped almonds, raisins, cinnamon, allspice, remaining 2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until thoroughly combined.
- 4
Drain the quince halves. Loosely stuff each half with the lamb mixture, filling them to the brim but not packing too tightly. Place the stuffed quinces, cut side up, in a baking dish.
- 5
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the chicken stock, sugar, and remaining 1 tsp salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- 6
Pour the simmering liquid around the stuffed quinces in the baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
- 7
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the quinces are tender when pierced with a knife and the lamb filling is cooked through. Remove foil for the last 10 minutes if you desire a slightly more caramelized top.
- 8
Garnish with pomegranate seeds, if using. Serve warm, spooning some of the cooking liquid over each stuffed quince.
💡 專業提示
- ✓Choose firm, ripe quinces for the best texture and flavor.
- ✓Don't pack the filling too tightly, as the rice will expand during cooking.
- ✓The cooking time may vary depending on the size and ripeness of the quinces.
