  1. CINNAMON LAMB & RICE

    Place a pot over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to caramelise for 3-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Add the rinsed rice and the ground cinnamon. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on the lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork. Season to taste.

  2. TOASTED ALMONDS

    Place the flaked almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside for serving.

  3. FATTOUSH-STYLE SALAD

    While the rice is steaming, roughly dice the tomato, finely slice the spring onion, and slice the radish into rounds. In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, the radish rounds, the spring onion slices, the sumac, ½ the chopped mint, the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.

  4. HASHWEH HAPPINESS

    Plate up a hearty portion of the cinnamon-spiced lamb and rice. Top with dollops of the tzatziki. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds, the crispy onions, and the remaining mint. Side with the fattoush-style salad. Serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Tuck in, Chef!
