When I was young, I had a friend married to an Iranian fellow. She made this and it was great. She used the big can of tomato paste not the little can and it was pretty tomato-y. Make sure it's well greased, cause the rice can stick. Cook on low.
Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 dash red pepper
salt
2 cups rice, washed and drained
oil
pam cooking spray
1 (17 ounce) can green beans
1 onion
Directions:
1. Brown onions and green beans in skillet. Brown hamburger and drain.
2. Boil 3-quart pan of water for rice; add rice and cook 10 minutes. Drain rice and rinse with lukewarm water.
3. Meanwhile, add meat to vegetables with tomato paste and spices. Simmer till thick.
4. In tall pan, pour oil in bottom of pan. Spray sides heavily with Pam. Start layering with rice on bottom, then hamburger mixture; repeat.
5. Put wet dish rag around rim and put lid on tight. Cook on low heat for 25 minutes. Place in cold water to unmold on plate.
