Directions

  1. 1

    Clean the leeks and cut them into slices approximately 3/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    In a Dutch oven, sauté the leeks in a drizzle of olive oil for a few minutes until they begin to brown.

  3. 3

    Add the diced onion and the ground lamb. Cook while stirring regularly until the meat is well browned and the leeks are caramelized.

  4. 4

    Pour in the uncooked rice and the lamb broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

💡 Chef's Tip

Be sure to stir well at the beginning to prevent the leeks from sticking. You can add aromatic herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
