Ingredients

  • 1 lb lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 3 whole black cardamom pods, crushed
  • 2 cups chicken or lamb stock

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  3. 3

    Sear lamb in batches, 90 seconds per side without stirring until deeply browned. Transfer to a plate.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, cook sliced onion over medium until edges crisp, 4 minutes. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cardamom, cooking 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add rice and stir to coat in spiced oil for 1 minute. Pour in stock and return lamb to the pan.

  6. 6

    Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 12 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.

  7. 7

    Fluff with a fork. Serve immediately topped with extra crispy fried onions if you have them.
