Report
Hashweh is a comforting Lebanese dish made with seasoned ground beef, fluffy rice, and toasted pine nuts.

Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 30 g pine nuts
- 30 g currants
- 150 g frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 400 g basmati rice
- 600 ml water
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Start by heating a small amount of butter or olive oil in a pan. Add the nuts and toast them until they are golden brown and fragrant. Set them aside for later.
- Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Add olive oil and chopped onions, then sauté for a few minutes until the onions turn translucent.
- Stir in the currants, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to coat the meat evenly, letting the spices infuse into the dish.
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rice and peas to the pot with the meat and stir to combine.
- Pour in the water, bring it to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
- Once the rice is fully cooked let it rest for 15 minutes, and then gently fluff it with a fork.
- Garnish with the toasted nuts and fresh parsley. Serve warm with a side of yogurt or a fresh salad.

Notes
- Rinse the rice to remove excess starch and help keep the grains separate.
- Keep an eye on pine nuts while toasting to prevent burning, as they toast quickly.
- I prefer basmati rice for this recipe. You can also use Jasmine rice or Baldo rice if you prefer. The water amount may need adjusting depending on the type of rice.
- After cooking, let the rice sit covered for 15 minutes before fluffing to help absorb any remaining steam.
