By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

500 g minced lean lamb
1 onion, grated
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
Grinding of black pepper
4 tablespoons oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 cups basmati rice
4 cups chicken stock
Baby spinach leaves
500 g cubed peeled pumpkin

Method

Knead together minced lamb with the grated onion and spices. Form into tiny balls and brown in a saucepan in half the oil.

Remove and pour off the oil. In the same saucepan, heat the rest of the oil.

Add chopped onion and cook gently until softened.

Stir in the garlic and rice, pour in chicken stock and add pumpkin. Return the browned lamb and cover tightly.

Simmer for half an hour or until pumpkin and rice are both tender and the liquid absorbed. Stir in spinach leaves.
