Skill level- medium
Time: approx 30 minutes

Ingredients (all of these are approximations. I just cook and don’t measure)

1lb Ground beef (I like 90% lean. Some fat is good 😁)
1 medium sized onion
2 cups Basmati rice
Almond slices
1 cup frozen Green peas
Salt and pepper
All spice mix
Cinnamon
Oil (I prefer to cook with olive oil)

Instructions
To make rice (skip if you know how to make rice, it’s just the typical way)

First prepare the rice by soaking it in cold water for about 15 minutes and then rinse it a couple of times
Add about a tablespoon of oil to sauce pan and turn heat on high
Add the rice you have washed and stir for a few seconds
Add water (I usually use the bowl in which I rinsed the rice in prior and fill it up with fresh water- that usually gets at the right quantity but you may have to play with it a bit based on your pan, stove and type of rice)
Add salt and pepper to liking
Once water boils, turn heat down to low and cover the pan
Let rice cook for about 15 minutes

To prepare the meat (you can do that while rice is cooking)

Dice the onion
Add about a table soon of oil to a frying pan and turn heat on high
Add onion and ground beef to pan and stir until beef is browned
Add salt and pepper to liking
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon
Add all spice (3-4 tablespoons but you want all the beef to have a light coat of it)
Add frozen peas to pan and mix
Turn heat down to medium
Cover pan and let cook for about another 15 minutes (if it’s dry you can add a little bit of water but usually the fat and frozen peas give it enough moisture)

When rice and meat are done cooking, add rice to a big serving tray and add meat on top. Mix lightly

In the frying pan you used for the meat, add a teaspoon of oil and brown the almond slices.

Add almond slices on top

​Aaaaand Sahteen (enjoy) bon appetit
