Description

This Persian style rice with cinnamon scented lamb is a delicious blend of sweet and savoury flavours.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Cook the rice in a large, heavy bottomed pan of boiling water for 10 minutes, drain and set aside in a bowl. Place the dried cranberries in a small bowl of boiling water and leave to soften.

Step 2 of 4

Heat the oil in a large pan on medium heat and cook the onion for 5 minutes, stir in the lamb mince and cinnamon and cook for 7-8 minutes until browned. Drain the cranberries.

Step 3 of 4

Heat half of the butter in the pan used to cook the rice, add a layer of rice, then minced meat and cranberries, and repeat until the rice and filling has been used up, finishing with rice on top. Pour over the remaining butter.

Step 4 of 4

Cook on a low heat with the lid on for 20 minutes, until the rice is tender. Tip out on to a plate, sprinkle with pistachios and coriander, drizzle with pomegranate molasses and serve.
