Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large straight sided pan over medium high heat. Cook beef until browned on all sides, remove from pan. Add the sausages to the pot with a bit more oil if needed. Once they got a bit of colour, take them out on the same plate with the beef.
  2. Add the onion to the pot. Sauté until it get soft then add the garlic. Sauté for one more minute then add the Schwartz cinnamon and turmeric and the salt. Stir together for a minute then add the beef and sausages back to the pot.
  3. Cover with boiling water from the kettle, put a lid on and let it cook on a small fire for about two hours.
  4. Take the lid off towards the end so that the liquid drops and thickens. When you drag the wooden spoon on the bottom of the pan and the liquid separates, that's when it's done.
  5. Meanwhile cook your rice. In a smaller pan heat oil over medium heat. Add rice, cook and stir for a bit so that the rice gets covered in oil and then add the water. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to minimum and let it simmer until all the water is gone, about 10 minutes.
  6. Add the rice to the other pot and mix everything together. Serve on a plate with diced tomatoes and onion on top.
