Rice with green beans, lamb and black lime
Soak the rice in water in a bowl. Set aside
In a casserole dish, add the regular olive oil and sauté the onions until golden
Add the 7 spice, turmeric, black pepper along with the green beans and sauté for around 5 minutes on medium high heat
Then add the salt, black lime powder and tomato concentrate, and sauté again for another five minutes
Wash and drain the rice, then add to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes before adding boiling water to cover (approx 3.5 cups)
Bring to the boil then simmer for around 25 minutes. Serve with optional yoghurt
Remove the preserved fruit of the black lime (taking out the pips) and blitz in a spice blender to make the powder
You can use a tablespoon of pomegranate molasses if you don't have black lime
