Ingredients
- 2 1- foot strips of ground beef kebab jerky
- 8.5 oz instant basmati rice
- 3-4 slices of dehydrated tomatoes
- ⅛ teaspoon ground saffron
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon sumac
- Water
Instructions
- Cut or tear jerky into 1-inch pieces and add to a pot. Cover with water and heat for 5 minutes to rehydrate meat to personal preference. Strain meat and use water to cook the rice, if needed.
- If using instant rice that needs to cook in water, cook per package directions. If using rice like what is pictured in this post, already cooked and vacuum packed, no water will be needed to rehydrate. Again follow, your package directions.
- Add salt and saffron to rice while it reheats. If using dehydrated tomatoes, add them to the rice.
- Stir in meat with the rice and season with sumac.
Notes
Top with fresh/dried parsley or mint. If you can find wild onions, chop and add to the meal, as well.
