Vegetarian Baachsh Bochari Rice Dish Food

VEGETARIAN OSVO (OSH-SEVO)--BOCHARI RICE CHOLENT

Steps:

• Cover the bottom of the cholent pot with oil & heat.
• Add tomatoes, then apple, then apricots, then plums, then dates.
• Cover the pot and leave it covered. Let the juices dry up and then add the rice, tomato paste, and enough water to cover everything with 1cm to spare.
• Cover the pot with a dish towel and then with a lid, and simmer until the water dries up.
• Seal the pot well by covering it with aluminum foil, and put on the hot plate right before Shabbat. Eat the following morning for Shabbat brunch.
• PS: the bottom of the pot will have rice that has burnt into a caramelized delicious goo. This is called "tadigi" and is usually the best part!

BAACHSH - TRADITIONAL BOCHARI RICE, MEAT AND CORIANDER DISH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan and add onion.
• Sauté onion until it becomes transparent.
• Add ground meat and stir so it doesn't "clump" together.
• Stir in turmeric and pepper and let cook for 30 minutes.
• Add the rice, salt and coriander and mix well until the mixture of rice, meat, onions and coriander is uniform and rice has turned yellow from the turmeric.
• Add water and leave the mixture to boil until the water has mainly been absorbed, then lower the heat and cover the pot with a towel and then the lid (the towel will absorb the water vapor).
• Leave to simmer for 15 minutes.
• Fluff the rice and serve!
