Directions:Small dice onion and crush each garlic and remove skin. Sauté in oil until translucent. Add turmeric and cinnamon and cook for a few minutes longer. Cut the meat in small cubes. Add meat to the onion. Season with salt and pepper. Sear meat until brown. Add 1 cup of water along with the tomato juice from the can to of diced tomatoes. Cover and cook for 1 hour.
In the mean time sauté green beans in oil for a few minutes. Add drained diced tomatoes. Add meat only to the green beans. Take 1/2 cup of the meat juice and add tomato paste and mix well. Add to the green beans and meat. Season with salt and pepper and cook uncovered until the juices have evaporated and the green beans are almost cooked.
Cook rice in a seperate pot about 80% of the way. Drain the rice and place aside until Beef/Lamb mix is done.
Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1 tablespoon of brewed saffron to the bottom of a non-stick pot. Shake the pot. Add a layer of rice. Cover with a layer of the green beans and tomato mixtures. Sprinkle some advieh on top. Repeat layering until both rice and green beans and meat mixture are gone always ending with a layer of white rice. Be sure to add advieh as you go.
Cover rice and cook on high for 10 minutes. Mix 2 tablespoons of brewed saffron with 2 tablespoons of canola oil and pour over rice. Wrap lid in a towel, cover the pot and cook on low for 1 hour. |
