Flavorful low-fat lamb pilaf with fragrant spices and fresh veggies.
Ingredients:
  • 1 brown onion, peeled, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 350g lamb leg steaks, diced
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground fennel
  • 62.50 ml currants
  • 400.00 gm jasmine rice, rinsed
  • 2 vegetable stock cubes
  • 875.00 gm boiling water
  • 450g (1/2 medium) cauliflower, trimmed into florets
  • 250.00 ml frozen peas
  • 1 lemon, rind finely grated
  • 250.00 ml flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  • lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in oil until just soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add the lamb and brown for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine cumin, fennel, currants, and rice in a saucepan. Crumble in stock cube, pour boiling water, and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 12 minutes until rice absorbs stock. Remove from heat.
  • Mix in the peas, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Then, add in the lemon zest and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Portion the pilaf into serving bowls and garnish with lemon wedges before serving.
