Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Place the beef stew meat in a large pot and add the bay leaves, cardamom pods, black peppercorns, and the first measure of salt.
2
Pour the first measure of water over the beef, ensuring it is fully submerged.
3
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
Aproximativ 1 oră
Nota bucătarului: Skim any foam that rises to the surface during the initial boiling.
4
While the beef is simmering, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Aproximativ 5 min.
5
In a bowl, toss the pita bread squares with the olive oil and the minced garlic for the pita.
Aproximativ 2 min.
6
Spread the seasoned pita bread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Aproximativ 1 min.
7
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Watch carefully to prevent burning, as pita can brown quickly.
8
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed white rice, the second measure of water, and the second measure of salt.
9
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
Aproximativ 18 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not lift the lid while the rice is cooking to ensure even steaming.
10
While the rice cooks, prepare the tomato sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil for the sauce over medium heat.
11
Add the minced garlic for the sauce and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
12
Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, white vinegar, ground cumin, and the third measure of salt.
13
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Aproximativ 7 min.
14
Prepare the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, the minced garlic for the yogurt sauce, and the fourth measure of salt.
Aproximativ 2 min.
15
To assemble the fatteh, drain the cooked beef, reserving the cooking broth. Shred or cut the beef into smaller pieces if desired.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: The broth is essential for moistening the pita.
16
In a large serving dish, spread a layer of the crispy pita bread on the bottom.
Aproximativ 1 min.
17
Ladle some of the reserved beef broth over the pita to lightly moisten it.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Don't over-saturate; you want it slightly softened but still with some bite.
18
Spread the cooked rice evenly over the moistened pita layer.
Aproximativ 1 min.
19
Arrange the cooked beef over the rice.
Aproximativ 1 min.
20
Spoon the tomato sauce over the beef and rice layers.
Aproximativ 1 min.
21
Finally, spoon the garlic-yogurt sauce generously over the top.
Aproximativ 1 min.
22
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
Aproximativ 1 min.
