SPICED LAMB AND RICE WITH WALNUTS, MINT AND POMEGRANATE
A baked lamb and rice dish I tasted in Istanbul, etli pilav, inspired this one-pot meal, topped with walnuts and fresh mint and pomegranate seeds. Similar pilaf-style rice dishes are made all across the Middle East and into Asia. Kabuli pulao in Afghanistan is acclaimed; the Persian baghali polov ba gusht is justly famous, as is the Lebanese Hashwet al-ruz; and there are myriad fabled biryanis made with lamb (or goat) in India and Pakistan. Pomegranate molasses is available in Middle Eastern groceries or online. It provides a sweet-sour, fruity undertone, but you may omit it and still get good results. Try a squeeze of lime instead.

Steps:
- If using dried chickpeas: Put soaked chickpeas in a saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 45 minutes to an hour, until tender. Top up with water as necessary to keep chickpeas covered. (If using pre-cooked or canned chickpeas, skip this step.)
- Season lamb pieces generously with salt and pepper. In a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven with a lid, heat oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches over high heat, brown the lamb pieces on both sides, removing them to a plate as they are cooked. (Don't crowd the pan or they won't brown nicely.)
- When all the lamb is browned and the pot is empty, reduce heat to medium high. Add onions, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add raisins, pomegranate molasses (if using), cumin, coriander, allspice, mace, and cinnamon and stir to coat. Return lamb to the pot, along with any juices.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- If using canned chickpeas, drain well. If using cooked chickpeas, drain and reserve the cooking liquid. Add drained chickpeas and rice to onion mixture and stir together. Turn heat to high and add 2 cups chickpea cooking liquid (or 2 cups water or broth, if using canned chickpeas). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover tightly. Bake about 1 hour, until lamb is tender when probed with a fork and rice is cooked through. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving, or up to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat until it foams. Add walnuts and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Salt lightly and set aside. Fluff the lamb and rice gently, lifting up from the bottom. Serve directly from pot or transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with walnuts, pomegranate seeds, mint and crushed red pepper. Pass a bowl of yogurt at the table.

ECONOMICAL BAKED LAMB WITH RICE
This is a very simple kid-pleasing recipe without a lot of fancy ingredients. You boil the meat first with some veggies to make a stock and then tip everything into the oven over rice to cook. Very simple and very tasty.

Steps:
- First cut up the meat into chunks and boil it for 5 minutes in a large saucepan with just enough water to cover it. (This is necessary for Greek lamb which is quite heavy, it probably wouldn't be needed for Aussie or Kiwi lamb).
- Throw out the water, rinse the meat and refill the large saucepan with water.
- Add the peeled onion, carrot, celery stalk and parsley stalks whole.
- Add stock cube and salt and pepper to taste.
- Boil until the meat is very tender. (I use my pressure cooker for 30 minutes).
- Spread out the rice evenly in a very large shallow baking pan.
- Place the meat evenly over the rice and then ladle in the stock until it is completely covered, discarding the carrot, onion, parsley and celery.
- Taste the stock and correct the seasonings keeping in mind that the stock will provide the salt needed.
- You may dot the rice with butter if you like.
- Bake at 180 degrees for about 50 minutes.
- Note: the cups of stock are approximations only as it depends on the size of your pan, make sure you have covered your rice completely and keep some stock aside to add if it dries out.
