For a richer flavor, brown the ground beef in a tablespoon of olive oil. Rinsing the rice before cooking removes excess starch and results in a fluffier texture. Adjust the amount of cinnamon and allspice to suit your taste preferences. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for added freshness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Crumble the ground beef and add it to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, ground cinnamon, and allspice. Cook, breaking the beef into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through. (Approximately 10 minutes)
02
StepStir in the water, rice, and beef bouillon with the beef. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid. (Approximately 20 minutes)
03
StepWhile the rice is cooking, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, swirling frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. (2-4 minutes; watch carefully as they can burn quickly!)
04
StepOnce the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the beef and rice mixture. Serve hot.
