Maklubi (Rice with Meat and Vegetables)
Maklubi is a Levantine rice and meat dish that comes together in a single saucepan with very little fuss. The beef and onion are browned with allspice, which leads over the pepper and gives the rice a warm, slightly sweet spice. The rice then cooks right in the pan, first with the lid tilted and then shut tight. A spoonful of cool yogurt on top finishes a simple weeknight dinner.
Instructions
Heat a little olive oil in a saucepan and brown the ground beef with the chopped onion. Season with salt, black pepper and allspice, using more allspice than pepper, then take the pan off the heat.
Stir in the rice and the water and set the pan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil.
Turn the heat down to medium low and cover the pan with the lid tilted, so some steam can escape.
When most of the water has evaporated and the surface of the rice looks pitted, set the lid on tight. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and leave it covered for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the rice with plain yogurt alongside.
