Ingredients:

Serving

1 leg of lamb
1 whole cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves
4 cardamom pods
1 onion, cut in quarters
1 whole dried black lime
sea salt
1 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 cup oil
3 cups basmati rice
1 pinch of saffron threads soaked in 1/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup sultana , soaked in water
1/3 cup pine nuts
1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried lime powder (loomi)
sea salt , to taste
1/4 cup oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 (680 ml) can tomato sauce ( like hunts
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup stock ( reserved from cooking the lamb)
sea salt
fresh lemon, halved for serving

Directions:

Wash a leg of lamb or large lamb pieces thoroughly and place in a pot. Cover with water and add cinnamon stick, cloves, bruised cardamom pods, and onion & peirced loomi. Simmer 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender, skimming as necessary. When meat is tender, remove the meat, and strain and reserve the stock.
Rinse the rice, leave to soak in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain well.
In a separate pan, heat 1/4 cup oil. Sprinkle meat with a teaspoon of ground cardamom or baharat, brown it in the oil and remove. To the remaining oil add the drained rice and stock amount required to cook rice & salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer till all the liquid is absorbed. Pour saffron water over rice and top with meat. Cover well and warm on lowest heat for 15 minutes. (I do this in the oven covered at 250F (warm) until we are ready to eat).
Garnish (Heshew):.
Brown onions in a non stick pan without oil and afterf a while with a little water as needed, stirring continuously. Add pine nuts and brown, then add drained sultanas and spices/sea salt. Set aside.
Sauce (Dakkous):.
Fry onions and garlic till golden. Add remaining ingredients, stir and simmer 5 minutes.
Spoon rice onto a shallow dish, top with heshew and meat. Serve with dakkous, lemons and a fresh salad.
