Lamb Lover's Pilaf

By: KCFOXY Supporting Member (Click to learn more about Supporting Membership)
"If you like those restaurants with tapestries on the walls, pillows on the floor and little brass tables, you will enjoy this take on Moroccan lamb pilaf. Boneless lamb meat, celery, bulgur wheat and onion are graced with hints of cinnamon, allspice and chicken broth. Raisins and slivered almonds top off this lovely dish."
