Spiced Rice:

1. I really like using a non-stick pot to make rice. This one is fabulous!
2. You want to rinse your rice until the water is clear, this releases the starch and creates a fluffy rice. Place your rice in a bowl, fill with water, move around then rinse. Continue until water runs clear.
3. Melt your butter on medium heat then add your vermicelli noodles. Begin to stir and continue stirring until the noodles become a nice golden color. Keep a watchful eye to not let them burn. 
4. Once golden brown, add your water and bring water to a boil.
5. Next add your rinsed rice, cover, lower heat to a low and cook for 20 minutes or until all water is absorbed.
6. Finally, season with salt and all-spice. 

Lamb:

1. In a large skillet, add your olive oil and then your diced onion. Saute until onion begins to become translucent. Add a sprinkle of kosher salt to help release the moisture.
2. After about 5 minutes, add in your ground lamb. Begin to brown and break up pieces and cook until all browned and broken. About 10 minutes.
3. Next, you'll want to drain any fat from the pan. I usually place a lid on the pan and drain into a bowl. Be sure NOT to dispose of the fat in your drain. 
4. Once lamb is drained add in 1/2 cup of water and cook until water is absorbed on medium heat.
5. Next, add in your cinnamon, all-spice, pepper and salt to taste.

Yogurt Mint Sauce:

1. Crush your clove of garlic using a mortar and pestle.
2. Add your yogurt and crushed mint.
3. Mix and enjoy!
