Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    I found the Lebanese seven spices in a local supermarket in Bristol called Dunya but I think they sell them in Asda. Those spices are a must have! They go perfectly with minced beef and all types of meat

  2. 2

    Boil the chicken as per the attached recipes or / In a pan, add some oil and fry the chicken until cooked, then cut it into small pieces

  3. 3

    Start with frying the onion in a little bit of olive oil

  4. 4

    When the onion is almost cooked add the minced beef and put the heat up

  5. 5

    Add the spices to the meat and mix well until the meat is cooked

  6. 6

    Add the rice and mix it with the meat then add the raisin to the mixture

  7. 7

    Add 6 cups of chicken broth to the rice, let it boil on high heat. When you see bubbles on top, lower the heat, cover and let it cook for almost 20min

  8. 8

    Add chicken pieces to the cooked rice and mix a little bit. Keep some of the chicken for the top

  9. 9

    Fry any nuts you like then add it with the chicken on top of the rice and bonne appetite!
