Bulgur with Vermicelli and Lamb

A comforting and delicious Middle Eastern dish made with toasted vermicelli, hearty bulgur, and tender lamb. Perfect for family dinners and special gatherings! Ingredients For the Bulgur 1/2 cup vermicelli 1 cup coarse bulgur (burghul), washed 3–4 Tbsp olive oil About 2 cups of lamb broth (or any broth of your choice) 1–1 1/2 cups boiling water Salt and black pepper to taste For the Lamb About 2 pounds of lamb stew meat with bone Water as needed Optional Garnishes Roasted slivered almonds Raisins Chopped parsley Instructions Cook the Lamb Place the lamb stew meat in a pot and add enough water to completely cover the meat. Bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, remove the meat and discard the water. Wash the meat and rinse the pot well. This important step helps remove the strong gamey taste of the lamb. Return the meat to the clean pot and add fresh water to cover the meat by about 2 inches. Bring back to a boil and skim off any white foam from the surface. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the lamb is tender. Add about 1-1 1/2 tsp of salt in the last 10 minutes of cooking time. Reserve the broth for cooking the bulgur. Prepare the Bulgur In a medium pot, add the vermicelli and cook over medium heat until golden brown. Add the washed bulgur and mix well for about 1 minute. Add the olive oil and continue mixing for another minute. Pour in about 2 cups of lamb broth and 1–2 cups boiling water. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well, cover, and cook over medium-high heat until most of the liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, lightly sear the cooked lamb pieces in some of their fat for extra flavor. Once most of the liquid is gone, fluff the bulgur gently, lower the heat to low, and cook for another 5–10 minutes. To Serve Transfer the bulgur to a large serving tray and arrange the lamb pieces on top. Garnish with roasted almonds, raisins, and chopped parsley if desired. Serve with a simple cucumber salad on the side. Enjoy! . . .
