A flavorful and aromatic dish combining tender lamb, spiced rice, and toasted nuts for a delightful meal.
Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat and add the lamb pieces.
Ensure the lamb is browned evenly for a richer flavor.
Add the ground lamb to the pot and cook until browned.
Break up the ground lamb into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the rice and spices, mixing well to coat the rice.
Toast the rice slightly to enhance its nutty flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
Do not stir the rice while it cooks to prevent it from becoming mushy.
While the rice cooks, toast the pine nuts in olive oil in a small skillet until golden.
Stir constantly to prevent the nuts from burning.
Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Resting allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture.
Transfer the rice and lamb mixture to a serving dish and garnish with the toasted pine nuts.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
