INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation of Keema: In medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat;
add onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic,
cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add cinnamon stick, coriander, cumin,
and ground red pepper, cook 1 minute longer. Stir in ground turkey, tomato
paste, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high heat until meat is browned,
stirring often. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is cooked.
Preparation of Spiced Rice: In medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons water
over medium heat. Add cinnamon stick, peppercorns, cardamom pods, and
cloves. Cover and cook just until spices begin to pop, about 2 minutes,
swirling the pan occasionally. (Heated spices can be transferred to a piece
of cheesecloth to make a spice bag. Tie with string and return to saucepan)
Add rice to spice mixture and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add 4 cups water and
heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 20
minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
To serve, stir cilantro into meat mixture; heat through. Spoon Keema over
spiced rice.
