Method

Cooking the Lamb

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    Cut the lamb shoulder into large chunks if necessary. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Boil the Lamb

    In a large pot, add the lamb pieces and cover with water. Add salt, black pepper, garlic cloves, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1.5 hours or until the lamb is tender.

  4. 4

    Remove and Rest

    Once the lamb is tender, remove it from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse the Rice

    In a separate bowl, rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 6

    Boil the Rice

    In the same pot with the lamb broth (remove garlic and bay leaves), add the rinsed rice and bring to a boil. Add 2 cups of water if needed.

  3. 7

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and fluffy.

Preparing the Side Dish

  1. 8

    Steam the Broccoli

    In a steamer or microwave, steam the broccoli until tender (about 5-7 minutes).

  2. 9

    Dress the Broccoli

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Drizzle over the steamed broccoli and toss to coat.

Serving the Dish

  1. 10

    Plate the Meal

    On a large serving platter, arrange the fluffy rice, top with the boiled lamb, and serve with the steamed broccoli on the side.
