Time to get started
- Fry the lamb in a stew pan with a little salt in a tablespoon of butter, on medium heat.
- After about 10 minutes, add boiling water and leave to simmer for about 50 minutes, until it is deliciously tender.
- Rinse and cut the remaining vegetables into equal pieces and put them in a bowl, or buy the Turlu (e.g. by Sera) ready to eat in the shop.
- As soon as the meat is fairly cooked (after about 30 minutes), add the vegetables and fry them briefly so that they retain their bite.
- Then add a tablespoon of tomato and paprika puree. Mix well and add water to cover everything by 1 cm. Cook for about 20 minutes. If necessary, add some salt.
- Use these 20 minutes to prepare the rice pilaf: Rinse the rice very briefly under cold water without rubbing it. Then pour boiling water over it and leave the rice to soak for about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, roast 50 grams of orzo (arpa sehriye) in a frying pan without fat over medium heat, until the orzo is golden brown.
- Take another pan and melt half a tablespoon of butter with a little splash of olive oil. Drain the rice and glaze it in the fat, with some added salt, on a medium heat. Once the fat has been absorbed the orzo can be added.
- Add 400 ml of boiling water, while stirring. Bring it to the boil. Then leave it to simmer over a medium heat so that the liquid is absorbed - ready!
- Serve the Turlu stew with the pilaf.
