Recipes,,Middle Eastern Lamb and Lentil Rice Pilaf yummy
Coriander, cumin and cinnamon is a classic Middle Eastern spice combination that goes fabulously with lamb. It also works very well with beef. I swap between using spinach and silverbeet (chard) for this recipe because sometimes one is better value than the other, so I've included directions for both as they are slightly different (because spinach leaves are more delicate). I serve this with a side of fresh sliced tomatoes (without dressing) to make a complete meal. The clean flavours of the tomato are a perfect contrast to the aromatic rice.
