One-pot Rice & Goat Meat (Bariis Isku-karis) Potée de Riz à la Viande de Chèvre

One-pot Rice & Goat Meat (Bariis Isku-karis) Potée de Riz à la Viande de Chèvre

We have received so many requests to make this dish that we moved it up in the list of recipes that we want to post. It is quite understandable though why so many wanted us to post it. This one-pot rice dish can be very addictive. The flavour imparted to the rice from the goat meat that has been cooking for 2 hours, is unbelievably good. That is if you don’t steal too much goat broth (fuud) from the pot. You see, in our home we have the broth camp and the rice camp. The rice squad take turns guarding the pot from the pilferers. That problem has been solved by adding the tomatoes and the spices very early on.

For this dish, it’s important to use Sella Basmati Rice. This rice is very forgiving and can withstand the stirring that is required. It also puffs up more and can thus absorb more broth. The grains don’t break easily or stick together; each grain separates easily and increases in length, giving the dish an attractive appearance. Somali restaurants prefer to use Sella basmati for all the above reasons.

 

Nous avons reçu tellement de requêtes de faire ce plat que nous l’avons mis en haut de la liste des recettes que nous souhaitions publier. C’est tout à fait logique qu’autant de gens nous la demandent. Cette potée de riz peut être très addictive. Le goût du riz parfumé à la viande de chèvre qui a été cuite pendant 2 heures, est incroyablement délicieux. Seulement si vous n’avez pas chipé trop de bouillon de viande (fuud) de la casserole. Vous voyez, à la maison nous avons le camp du bouillon et le camp du riz. La brigade du riz monte la garde tour à tour devant la casserole contre les chapardeurs. Le problème a été résolu en ajoutant les tomates et les épices beaucoup plus tôt.

Pour ce plat, il est important d’utiliser du Riz Basmati Stella. Ce riz est très résistant et peut supporter le brassage qui est requis. Il gonfle plus et peut absorber plus de bouillon. Les grains de se brisent pas ou ne s’agglutinent pas; chaque grain se sépare facilement et s’allonge, ce qui donne au plat une apparence plus agréable. Les restaurants Somalis préfèrent utiliser le riz Sella Basmati pour les raisons citées ci-dessus.

 

Ingredients:

2 lb. Goat meat (we used frozen)
1 Onion (sliced)
5 Garlic cloves (minced)
3 Cinnamon sticks (3 inches long)
8 Cloves
8 Cardamom pods
1/2 cup Vegetable or canola oil
3 Tbsp Vegetable seasoning
1 Tbsp Xawaash
3 Tomatoes (large) pureed
6 cups Sella basmati rice
12 cups Water (boiling)

 

Waxa loo baahan yahay:

2 lb. Hilib ari (hilib baraf ah ayaan isticmaalnay)
1 Basal (la-jarjaray)
5 Tuun (toon) la-xoqay
3 Qori qorfe 
8 Xabo dhega yare
8 Xabo hayl
1/2 koob Saliid caddeey
3 QW Maraq qudaar (Vegeta ama Maggi)
1 QW Xawaash
3 Yaanyo (waaweyn) la-shiiday
6 koob Bariiska sella basmati 
12 koob Biyo (karkaraaya)

 

Ingrédients:

2 livres de Viande de Chèvre (nous avons utilisé du surgelé)
1 Oignon (émincé)
5 Gousses d’Ail (émincées)
3 Bâtons de Cannelle (de 3 pouces/8cm)
8 Clous de Girofle
8 Gousses de Cardamome
½ mesure d’Huile Végétale ou de Colza
3 cs d’Assaisonnement Légumes (ou bouillon cube)
1 cs de Xawaash
3 Tomates (grosses) en purée
6 mesures de Riz Basmati Sella
12 mesures d’Eau (bouillante)

 

Directions:

Wash the rice until the water runs clear. This may take 3 or 4 times of washing and draining. After washing well, cover the rice with sufficient water and let it soak for 2 hours.

In the meantime, wash the goat meat after defrosting (if you are using frozen goat meat). On medium heat, saute the onions in the oil, then add the minced garlic, cinnamon sticks, cardamom, and cloves. Add the goat meat and xawaash and brown the meat. Add the pureed tomatoes then cover and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes.   

After the 15 minutes, add 12 cups of boiling water to the pot. The proportion is 2 cups of water for each cup of rice. Cover and cook for 1½ hours until the meat becomes fork tender. Drain the rice and add the pot. Stir well then cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes.

After the 10 minutes have elapsed, stir well then cover and cook on low heat for a further 10 minutes to finish cooking the rice. 

 

Instructions:

Laver le riz jusqu’à ce que l’eau devienne claire. Cela peut prendre 3 ou 4 lavages et rinçages. Après l’avoir bien lavé, couvrir le riz avec suffisamment d’eau et le laisser tremper pendant 2 heures.

Pendant ce temps, laver la viande de chèvre après la décongelation (si vous utilisez de la viande congelée). A feu moyen, faire sauter les oignons dans l’huile, puis ajouter l’ail émincé, les bâtons de cannelle, la cardamome, et les clous de girofle. Ajouter la viande de chèvre et le xawaash et faire colorer la viande. Ajouter les tomates en purée puis couvrir et cuire à feu moyen pendant 15 minutes.

Après 15 minutes, ajouter 12 mesures d’eau bouillante dans le faitout. La proportion est de 2 mesures d’eau pour chaque mesure de riz. Couvrir et cuire
pendant 1H30 jusqu’à ce que la viande soit tendre et se détache à la fourchette. Égoutter le riz et l’ajouter au faitout. Bien tourner et couvrir, cuire à feu doux pendant 10 minutes.

Une fois les 10 minutes écoulées, bien mélanger puis couvrir et cuire à feu doux pendant 10 minutes de plus pour que le riz finisse de cuire.

      It will be great with chicken. You’ll need to adjust the water and the cooking time. Cook the chicken until it becomes fork tender then add the rice. God willing, we will post a recipe with chicken. Thanks for the du’a. May God grant you the same.

      Divide the quantities by 4. So you would cook 1 cup of rice. Portion sizes vary from person to person.

    Oh I am so excited to try this out. Having spent my first 5 years in Somalia and then amongst many Somali friends in Ethiopia and Kenya till I was 19, Somali food is my favorite!!! I can see some extra vegetables and sultanas in the final picture and wondered when I should add those? I am cooking for 40. How many should this feed? Thanks again!!! I love your site! You even have an Oodkac recipe!! And one for Somali Halwa!

    Made this recipe the other day it was very tasty i use
    lamb insted of goat. but the lamb came out quite dry
    i didn’t have veg seaoning so i used salt i didn’t know
    how much water to cook the meat in as i was only cooking 2 cups
    of rice any suggestion thank very much

    • A&L
      November 13, 2012 | 7:34 pm

      We are thinking that maybe you did not let the meat cook till tender. It is mentioned in the post that you will need 2 cups of water to cook a cup of soaked rice and the meat. The blended tomatoes also provide additional moisture for cooking the rice and meat. If you want to cook 2 cups of rice then you will have to divide the recipe by three. You have to cook the meat for one and half hours or until fork tender. The use of vegetable seasoning is not a must; there should be no problem in using salt. Let us know if you need anything else.

    Your final picture of this dish shows added ingrediants not mentioned in your list of Indgrediants. It looks like carrots, onions, maybe potatos, Red & Yellow bell pepper & Raisens?? Could you tell me what they are and if they were cooked with this dish or seperate then added to it. It looks so yummy & Im sure my kids would eat this if I add the extra ingrediants that are pictured. Thank You so much in advance.
