Tas kebab rice - (Pilafi Tas Kebab)
Serves: 4 persons
INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds leg of lamb or veal
1 1/4 cups butter
3 medium onions, chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, peeled/strained or 1 tablespoon tomato paste diluted with: 1 cup water salt & pepper to taste
1 cup water
3 cups raw rice
Cut meat into 2-inch cubes. Wash and wipe dry. Brown meat in two-thirds of the butter. Add onions and brown these too. Add wine, tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
Cook for about 5 minutes. Add water. Cook until meat is tender and about 1 c. sauce remains.
Cook rice as directed on package. Melt remaining butter and add it to rice. Place meat and sauce in bottom of a tube pan or ring mold. Add rice and pack lightly. Turn out onto a platter so meat is on top; the sauce will run down the sides of the rice.
