Ingredients
  

  • Basmati rice – 2 cups
  • Ground lamb or beef – 1 lb
  • Onion (finely chopped) – 1 large
  • Garlic (minced) – 2 cloves
  • Pine nuts – 1/4 cup
  • Ground cinnamon – 1 tsp
  • Ground allspice – 1 tsp
  • Salt and pepper – to taste
  • Olive oil – 2 tbsp
  • Chicken or beef broth – 3 cups

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
  • Add ground lamb or beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  • Stir in pine nuts, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Add the basmati rice to the skillet and stir to coat it evenly with the meat and spice mixture.
  • Transfer the rice and meat mixture to a large pot. Pour chicken or beef broth over the rice, ensuring that it is fully submerged.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat and let the hashweh rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
  • Serve the hashweh hot, garnished with additional pine nuts or fresh herbs if desired.
