Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion to the pan. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Once the onion is soft, add 1 pound of ground beef to the pan. Break up the ground beef with a spoon and cook until it's browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of seven spice blend, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of allspice, and 1 teaspoon of salt over the browned beef and onion mixture.
- Stir well to combine, then add 1½ cups of jasmine rice to the pan, stirring it into the beef and onion mixture until evenly distributed.
- Pour 2 cups of water into the pan, ensuring that the rice is fully submerged. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan.
- Let the rice mixture cook covered for 30 minutes on medium-low heat.
- After cooking, remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
- To make the garnish, heat the olive oil in a small pan and toast the slivered almonds for a few minutes until they're golden brown.
- Just before serving, sprinkle toasted slivered almonds and chopped parsley over the top of the rice.
Notes
- Choose the Right Rice: Choose long-grain rice, such as jasmine or basmati, for the best texture and flavor. These varieties absorb flavors well and result in fluffy, separate grains.
- Sauté the Onions: Take your time to sauté the onions until they're soft and translucent. This helps to develop their sweetness and adds depth of flavor to the dish.
- Season Generously: Don't skimp on the spices! Hashweh rice relies on a flavorful blend of spices like cinnamon, allspice, and seven spice blend. Season the meat mixture generously to ensure a rich and aromatic dish.
- Toast the Nuts: If using nuts (slivered almonds or pine nuts) for garnish, toast them lightly in a dry skillet before sprinkling them over the rice. This brings out their natural oils and adds a delicious crunch to the dish.
- Let it Rest: After cooking, let the Hashweh rice sit, covered, for about 10 minutes off the heat. This allows the flavors to meld and the rice to finish steaming, resulting in a perfectly tender and fluffy texture.
