Here is a dish I made up (& keep cooking)in order to use up left over leg of lamb.In a heavy pan render 1/4 C lamb fat till the bottom of the pan is well coated.Remove browned bits & discard.Fry 1/2Lb cubed(small)lamb with 1tsp of chipotle powder(or to taste)till lightly browned,remove & set aside.In same pan saute 1/2C minced shallots till translucent, add 1Tb minced garlic,1/2 minced ginger,1Tb curry powder(mild),1C basmati rice, cook stirring(medium heat) till rice graines turn opaque,pour in 2C hot water bring to a boil for 10mn,cover with a tight fitting lid,turn off heat & let rice mixture steam till most of the liquids are absorbed.Fluff rice with a fork,mix in 1/4C golden raisins,top rice with reserved lamb, cover,cook over low heat till raisins are plump,serve with finely chopped mint.Ethnic?...Well it could be.
