  • 300 g minced lamb
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • ¼ g ground cinnamon
  • 1 cube MAGGI Chicken Stock

How to prepare

  1. Heat the oil in a pan, add onions and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add meat, garlic and cinnamon, and cook until the pink color disappears then remove from heat.
  2. Add the crumbled MAGGI Chicken Stock cube, rice, tomato, parsley, pine seeds and mix well.

  6. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes until leaves are tender and the rice is cooked.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with lemon slices and sprinkle with their juice.
