Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cut the onion in half, peel and thinly slice into half moons. Peel and grate the garlic. Drain and rinse the kidney beans.

Meanwhile, bring a a large saucepan of water (amount specified in the ingredient list) to the boil, add the rice and a pinch of salt and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and leave to simmer for 10 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to rest for another 10 mins. TIP: Don't peek under the lid until the 20 mins are up!

While your rice is cooking, heat a good glug of oil in another large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the lamb mince. Cook for 8 mins until nicely browned. Once browned, add your onion. Cook until soft, 5 – 6 mins. Add the garlic, turmeric and sabzi ghormeh sabzi. Cook for 2 mins.

Add the kidney beans and chicken stock pot to the lamb along with the water (amount specified in the ingredient list). Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to dissolve the stock pot. Simmer for 10 mins or until all excess liquid has evaporated.

Once cooked, fold the baby spinach into your lamb mixture, then squeeze in a dash of lime juice. Taste and add salt, black pepper and more lime juice if necessary. Simmer with a lid on for 2 more mins.
