Maklubi, also known as maqluba or maklouba, is a dish of rice, meat, and vegetables found throughout the Levant.
½ pound ground beef
½ onion, chopped
Olive oil
1 cup rice
1 ½ cups water
Salt
Black pepper
Allspice
Plain yogurt
In a saucepan, brown ground beef and onion with salt, pepper, and allspice in a little olive oil (use more allspice than pepper). Remove from heat.
Add the rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Turn down to medium low, and cover with the lid tilted to let some steam escape.
When most of the water has evaporated and the surface of the rice becomes pitted, put the lid on tight. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes.
