Machboos laham

Machboos laham is a lamb version of the spiced rice dish eaten in Qatar. Chef Waleed Saied Abd Alwahab El Behary’s recipe uses lamb shank browned in ghee with onion, garlic, ginger and tomatoes. The meat simmers with a majboos spice blend, tomato paste, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and dried citrus.^[1][2]

The tender shank is removed, then basmati rice cooks in the seasoned lamb stock. The meat is placed over the rice on a platter, with fresh coriander and hard-boiled eggs as the chef’s garnish. Grilled tomatoes and peppers are optional decorations in his recipe.^[1]
