SAVORY TURKISH PILAF
I love this recipe for company--I've been making it for decades, but can't remember where I originally got it. It cooks on the stove but I like to serve it in a baked bean crock I own. Sauteing the raw rice in the same butter you sauteed the lamb in BEFORE you cook the rice enhances the flavor somehow. A real treat if you like lamb!

Steps:
- Heat the butter over medium heat and sauté the lamb until brown.
- Remove the meat from pan and keep hot.
- In the same butter, cook the onion until it is soft but not brown.
- Add the nuts and rice and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add the tomato through the bouillon; the dish will sizzle.
- Stir and cover tightly.
- Reduce heat to the lowest possible heat and cook until the rice is tender and all the liquid absorbed (20-30 minutes).
- Return the lamb to the rice and heat thoroughly.
- Let stand, covered, in a warm place 15 minutes without cooking.
- Sprinkle on parsley or mint.
