* Bokhary Rise with Meat

Ingredients

2 ½ cups basmati rice
About 2 kg beef cut into medium sized cubes
2 ripe tomatoes cut into quarters
½ cup tomato paste
1 onion cup into quarters
1 onion finely chopped
4 bay leaves
2 pieces dry lemon (lomy)
10 pieces cardamom
2 cinnamon sticks
6 cloves
1 tsp smoked red pepper powder
Salt & pepper
The skin of one orange pealed in pig pieces
3 carrots slicked thinly
Roasted nuts & raisins for garnishing
3 cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks and 1 dry lemon (lomy) for the rice
Oil & margarine


Directions

Stir fry your beef cubes in some oil until they brown. Add the onion cut into quarters, the tomato cubes, the tomato paste and water to the meat and bring to a boil. Add all your spices and leave the meat to cook very well and the soup to thicken in flavor.

Wash your rice very well and leave it soaking in water for about 15 minutes.

In your cooking pan, add some oil and margarine and sauté the chopped onion, the carrots and the orange peals for a couple of minutes. Add to them the cloves, cinnamon sticks and dry lemon and continue sautéing them until all is tender. Add your rice and cover it with the beef stock you made earlier. Make sure you strain your soup before adding it to the rice. Leave the rice to cook very well and then transfer it to your serving plate, cover it with the meat cubes and your nuts and raisins.
