Kenyan beef pilau
Basmati rice cooked with beef, deeply browned onion, tomato, and toasted spices. Serves 4; preparation: 30 minutes; cooking: 55 minutes.
This Kenyan pilau combines rice with beef and an aromatic blend of cumin, pepper, cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon. The onion is browned before the beef, tomato, and rice are added; the rice cooks covered until it has absorbed the liquid.
