Description

Kidri is a comforting Middle Eastern-inspired one-pot dish that brings together tender cubes of beef, fluffy rice, and earthy chickpeas in a rich, savory broth. The beef is first seared with onions to build a deep flavor base, then simmered with potatoes and spices until fork-tender. As the rice absorbs the seasoned liquid, it becomes infused with the aromatics of allspice and garlic, creating a cohesive and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for family dinners or cold evenings when you crave something warm and nourishing. The combination of protein, starch, and vegetables makes it a complete meal that is simple to prepare yet packed with home-style comfort.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dice the beef into small, uniform cubes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the diced beef and chopped onions to the pot and sauté until the beef is half cooked and onions are softened.
  4. Stir in the diced potatoes, allspice, garlic powder, and drained garbanzo beans.
  5. Add the beef bouillon and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
  6. Add the uncooked rice and 8 cups of water to the pot.
  7. Stir well to ensure the rice and ingredients are evenly distributed.
  8. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  9. Once boiling, cover the pot tightly and reduce the heat to low.
  10. Simmer gently for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
