Steps:
- For the pilau, wash the rice under running cold water until the water runs clear. Soak in enough cold water to cover the rice and set aside.
- Put the lamb in a pressure cooker (or standard pan if you are not using a pressure cooker). Add the onions, garlic, ginger, bay, cinnamon sticks, cardamom and 2 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly, cover the pressure cooker and secure the lid, and cook for 20-25 mins on low once the pressure has been reached (no need to add water). Or if you're using a pan on the hob, cook the meat over a low heat for 1-1½ hrs, adding a splash of water before and during cooking, if needed. If you're using a pressure cooker, while the meat cooks, you can prepare the ingredients for the pilau. If you're cooking it on the hob, wait until the meat is almost cooked before you start.
- For the pilau, heat the vegetable oil in another large saucepan and add the 4 tbsp of ghee. Once the ghee has fully melted and the oil is hot, add the ginger and brown over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously for 10 mins. Stir in the onions and fry, uncovered, over a medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden.
- Remove the lid from the lamb and check the meat, allowing all the steam to escape before removing the lid if using a pressure cooker. You should see the fat bubbling around the edges of the pan to indicate the meat has cooked enough. Transfer to a large saucepan, if needed, put the pan on the hob and add the curry powder, coriander, jeera (cumin), turmeric and the 4 tbsp ghee.
- Mix the spices and ghee, cover and allow the meat to cook for a further 15-20 mins, stirring now and then. In a pressure cooker, the liquid doesn't evaporate and the spices will not roast well, so this needs to be done on the hob.
- Once the onions for the pilau are golden brown, add the whole spices. Fry for a couple of mins before adding the soaked and drained rice. Add 1 tsp of salt, and fry over a medium heat for 8-10 mins, stirring to prevent the rice sticking. Add the whole green chillies.
- Check the meat and test for tenderness, if you're happy with it, add it to the fried rice; or turn off the rice and keep cooking the meat until tender, then heat up the rice and add the meat.
- Fry the meat with the rice for several mins over a medium heat stirring frequently, then turn the heat up to high. Add some boiling water to the pan you cooked the meat in to extract any fat/flavour, then add this to the pilau. You should hear the water sizzle as it hits the pan, if you don't hear this, you haven't heated the pan up enough (this is important for a fluffy pilau).
- Keeping the heat on high, top up the pilau with enough boiling water from your kettle and stir with a wooden spoon to ensure water reaches the bottom of the pan. Season the water to taste - it should taste salty. Add enough boiling water to just cover the rice and meat - you will need roughly 1 litre.
- Cover the pan and keep boiling on high for 5 mins, then turn the heat down to medium and simmer for a further 5-7 mins. Uncover and check to see if all the water has been absorbed, if not, help disperse the water to the bottom of the pan by lifting the rice from the edges of the pan with a wooden spoon and stirring the water into the rice.
- Finally, turn the heat down to low, cover the pilau with some foil and place the lid over the top. The foil traps the steam in and allows the moisture to drip back into the pilau as it cooks so it should not require any extra water. Leave to cook for a further 12-15 mins or until the rice is soft when pressed between your fingers. Dot some extra ghee over the top if you like, and cover with a lid to melt, then serve.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a shallow saucepan, melt the butter and oil together. Add the orzo and stir continuously over medium heat until the pasta turns a dark golden color. Be careful and keep stirring so the butter and orzo don't burn.
- Add the uncooked rice and stir thoroughly until the grains are coated with the oil. Add the chicken broth, salt, and pepper, and then bring to a boil. If you are using chicken bouillon in place of stock, cut down on or omit the salt.
- Cover and reduce the heat to low. Let the rice slowly simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 20 minutes.
- Without removing the cover, take the pan from the heat and put it aside to cool down for 5 minutes, keeping the lid on at all times. If too much condensation forms on the inside of the lid, open it and cover the top of the pan with a few paper towels, then replace the lid. This will absorb excess moisture and allow the rice to continue steaming at an even pace.
- Before serving, open the lid and gently stir the rice to loosen the bottom and separate the grains.
- You can use a small dessert bowl or ramekin as a mold to give it that signature rice pilaf look. Fill the bowl with the rice and use the back of a spoon to pack it down tightly. Invert the bowl onto a serving plate. The pilaf will pop out and should remain in the molded shape.

SLOW-ROASTED TURKISH LAMB
This lamb must be cooked until completely tender and succulent, but if time is a concern, it may also be prepared well in advance and reheated in the pan juices to serve. Shoulder is the best cut to use, or lamb shanks. It's finished with a bright garnish of pomegranate seeds and sliced persimmons. Small Fuyu persimmons are delicious eaten firm and raw, like an apple, unlike the larger Hachiya type, which must be ripe and soft to be palatable (and would not be suitable here). Lacking persimmons, use more pomegranate. Serve it with rice pilaf, if desired.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut lamb shoulder into 2 or 3 pieces, and place in a shallow 12-by-14-inch roasting pan or similar. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with red pepper, if desired.
- Rub meat with olive oil, lemon juice and pomegranate molasses. Tuck thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, garlic cloves and onion halves here and there. Place in oven, uncovered, and roast for 30 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned.
- Turn meat browned-side down and add 2 cups of water to the pan. Cover tightly with foil or lid. Reduce heat to 325 degrees. Cook, covered, until meat is absolutely fork tender and beginning to fall apart, about 3 1/2 hours total. Uncover during last 30 minutes of cooking if you want to brown the meat a bit more.
- Remove meat to a cutting board. Pour pan juices into a skillet (discard herbs and garlic). Skim and discard excess fat from surface. Bring to a boil and simmer until about a cup remains.
- Chop or shred meat into 1-inch chunks or rough slices. Transfer to a warm platter and pour juices over. (Alternatively, leave meat in pan with reduced juices until ready to serve.) Garnish with persimmon and pomegranate (if using), parsley, mint and lemon wedges. Serve yogurt on the side.
