Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely sliced
  • 1000.00 gm water or salt reduced chicken stock
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 5 strands of saffron (optional)
  • 400.00 gm basmati rice, washed
  • 62.50 ml diced dried apricots
  • 250g butcher 3 star beef mince
  • 4.80 gm salt
  • 62.50 ml mint
  • 62.50 ml parsley
  • 125.00 ml pine nuts, toasted
  • 62.50 ml pistachios, roughly diced
Instructions:
  • Heat a medium frypan over high heat, add oil, then sauté onions until golden and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  • Place a medium-sized saucepan over high heat. Add stock or water, cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and saffron. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Finely dice the cooked onion and add it to the stock.
  • Combine the washed rice and apricots in the pot. Simmer until the stock is almost absorbed. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and steam for 15 minutes.
  • Add a touch more olive oil to your hot frypan, then cook the mince meat with salt for 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • After cooking the rice, discard the cinnamon sticks and transfer the rice to a serving platter or bowl. Mix in the mince gently. Top with mint, parsley, pine nuts, and pistachios before serving.
