Ingredients
- 400 g lamb mince
- ½ red onion, diced
- 2 Tablespoons oil, divided
- 2 Tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1 ¼ cup stock, divided
- 1 cup rice
- 2 Tablespoons Rockin’ Moroccan Seasoning
- 1 pinch turmeric
- 400 g chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 Tablespoons Super Dukkah
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ Lemon, juiced
Instructions
- To make the lamb: Dice the onion and heat a drizzle of oil in a frypan. When it is hot, add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Push the onions to the side of the pan.
- Add another drizzle of oil and the lamb mince. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, but do not stir too much as you want to get some good browning on the bottom. Once it has turned brown, turn the heat down to medium.
- Add the BBQ sauce and ¼ cup of stock and simmer until thickened. Set aside.
- To make the rice: Add the rice, 1 cup of stock, the Rockin’ Moroccan Seasoning, and a pinch of turmeric. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 10 minutes without lifting the lid. Fluff with a fork.
- To make the crispy chickpeas: Add a tablespoon of oil to a bowl, then add the Super Dukkah and mix well. Add the drained chickpeas and mix to coat.
- Heat the frypan over medium-high heat and add the remaining oil. Once hot, add the chickpeas and cook, stirring, until crispy and golden (about 5-6 minutes).
- Meanwhile, make the sour cream drizzle by mixing the sour cream with 1 teaspoon of Rockin’ Moroccan Seasoning and a squeeze of lemon.
- To serve: Place a scoop of spiced rice on a plate, top with the lamb mixture, a drizzle of sour cream, the crispy chickpeas, and plenty more Super Dukkah.
