Lebanese_rice_with_cauliflower_and_minced_meat

Cut cauliflower in medium-sized florets, wash and strain any excess water

In a deep frying pan with vegetable oil, fry cauliflower until golden, then set aside over paper towels to strain any excess oil

In a saute pan, add the ghee and saut the beef or lamb untill it has cooked & set a side

In a suitable deep pot, coated with ghee at the bottom, we start arranging 3/4 of the fried cauliflower on the bottom then, add 1/2 the amount of meat on top

Add 1.5 cup of water

Add the basmati rice, the cumin and salt to taste

Bring the pot to a boil then cover & simmer for 25-30 minutes on low heat until the rice has fully cooked and is fluffy

When ready to serve, flip the pot over the serving dish. Garnish with the remaining meat & cauliflower.

Serve hot next to youre choice of salad or refreshing yogurt
