0.5 lamb
0.5 beef
a lot onion
1 jalapeno
1 oregano
to taste salt
to taste cumin
to taste paprika
1 cup rice
to taste clarified butter
a pinch turmeric
a pinch cardamom
to taste chicken stock
a handful parsley
to taste lemon juice
to taste vinegar
equal parts mayonnaise
equal parts yogurt

Instructions

1
Blend a large amount of onion and jalapeno (with seeds) in a food processor until finely minced, like cumin.
2
Add equal parts lamb and beef to the processor, then add oregano, salt, cumin, and paprika; pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3
Place fresh parsley into the food processor and pulse briefly to incorporate it with the meat mixture.
4
Line a baking dish with parchment paper and press the meat mixture into the dish, ensuring it is about 1½ inches thick and free of air bubbles.
5
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (399°F) until cooked through, about 30 minutes, then let rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing into ½‑inch pieces.
6
Slice the cooked meat loaf into ½‑inch pieces.
7
Wash 1 cup of extra‑long grain basmati rice in cold water and soak for 15 minutes.
8
In a deep pot, melt clarified butter, then toast turmeric, cardamom, paprika, and cumin until fragrant; add the soaked rice and toast for a couple of minutes.
9
Add salt and enough chicken stock to cover the rice; bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes.
10
While the rice and meat cook, blend fresh parsley, lemon juice, and vinegar; mix in equal parts mayonnaise and yogurt, diluting with water to the desired consistency; season with salt and pepper.
11
When the meat is sliced, sauté onions and peppers in a hot pan, then add the sliced meat and cook briefly until caramelized.
12
Serve the fluffy rice topped with sliced meat, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and a drizzle of the white sauce.
