Yield::6 bowls
Ingredients
¼ cup butter
2 pounds ground beef
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ½ cups chicken broth
2 cups long grain white rice
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup pine nuts
Directions
Heat 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and season with salt, allspice, cinnamon, and black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir chicken broth and rice into beef in the saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir pine nuts in hot butter until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
Mix pine nuts into beef-rice mixture before serving.
Recipe Tip
You can use ground lamb instead of ground beef.
