Method

  1. 01

    Rinse the rice

    Rinse the rice and let it drain while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

  2. 02

    Cook the lamb

    Heat some of the oil in a pot over medium heat and sauté the onion and lamb until the meat is browned on all sides. Add the allspice, black pepper, cardamom, bay leaves, and salt. Pour in the water, cover, and simmer for 90 to 120 minutes, until the lamb is tender. Reserve the broth.

    120 min
  3. 03

    Fry the eggplant

    While the lamb cooks, heat the remaining oil in a wide frying pan. Fry the eggplant strips in batches, turning them, until golden on both sides. Drain them on paper towels.

  4. 04

    Layer the ingredients

    Arrange the eggplant in the bottom of a wide pot, letting some strips rise slightly up the sides. Spread the lamb on top and add 4 cups of the reserved broth. Cover with the rinsed rice.

  5. 05

    Cook the rice

    Bring the pot to a boil over medium heat. Cover it, lower the heat, and simmer for about 25 minutes without stirring, until the rice is cooked.

    25 min
  6. 06

    Rest and invert

    Remove the pot from the heat and let the maqluba rest for 15 minutes. Place a wide platter over the pot and, holding them carefully, invert them to release the contents.
