Turkish Lamb and Rice Pilau

We don’t normally eat much lamb. It’s okay and we like it, but in general, it’s not a meat we want to eat very often. We had guests over yesterday who love lamb so we decided to make this dish, and it actually turned out great! I loved the hint of sweetness from the raisins and the little bit of crunch from the pistachios. The lamb taste was quite mild, and the eggplant combined in the rice was perfect.

While this is actually a very easy recipe, I had difficulty making it because I wasn’t concentrating enough as I was reading through the instructions on how to make it. Kemal helped me pull it together, and after all was said and done, it turned out great!
