Hashweh Rice Arabic Keema Rice With Ground Beef Recipes

HASHWEH RICE (ARABIC KEEMA RICE WITH GROUND BEEF)

Steps:

• Start by dicing the onions finely
• To a non-stick pan (preferably), add the vegetable oil and the onions and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes until onions are softened slightly
• Add the ground beef and break it down using a wooden spoon. Cook it on medium heat for 7-10 minutes until browned and the juices it released start to dry up
• Add all the spices along with the frozen vegetables. Stir to combine and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture looks dry and not much moisture is left
• Wash the basmati rice several times until the water runs clear and drain it well
• Add the rice to the pot along with the water. Mix well to combine and ensure the water covers all of the rice mixture completely
• Turn the heat to medium high and allow the mixture to start bubbling - this should take only a few minutes. As soon as it starts to bubble, cover immediately and decrease the heat to low
• Leave the rice to cook undisturbed for 20 minutes
• Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a pan with 1/2 tablespoon of oil until golden brown. Once they're done, add the raisins in there to warm them through. Chop your parsley if using.
• After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and leave the pot covered for a further 10 minutes
• Open the pot and fluff the rice with a fork then serve with the garnish on top
