  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 120 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (527 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Gluten-free
  • Contains: dairy, meat

Ingredients

  • 130 g Lamb neck, raw
  • 25 g Rice, white, long-grain
  • 6 g Garlic, raw
  • 8 g Butter, unsalted
  • 5 g Olive oil
  • 1 g Cayenne pepper
  • 0.3 g Black pepper
  • 1.5 g Salt
  • 350 g Water

Method

  1. Put the lamb in a pot with the water; bring to a boil, skim off foam, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1.5-2 hours until the meat is falling-apart tender.
  2. Lift out the lamb, shred the meat finely and discard any bone, then return the meat to the broth.
  3. Add the rinsed rice and simmer 15-18 minutes until the rice is very soft and the soup has thickened slightly.
  4. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a small pan, stir in the cayenne pepper and crushed garlic, and warm gently for 30 seconds without letting the garlic burn.
  5. Season the soup with salt and black pepper.
  6. Ladle into a bowl and pour the sizzling garlic-red pepper butter over the top just before serving, as is traditional for a Gaziantep breakfast.
