Persian rice pot

Have a very tasty rice dish from Iran. It is very light and therefore ideally suited for the summer.

It takes about 4 people:

400 g basmati rice
350 g beef fillet or beef stew
1 large can of green beans very fine
1 tube of tomato paste
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
500 g of natural yoghurt
Salt, pepper, cinnamon, oregano, naneminze, 1 chili pepper

Cook the rice according to the instructions. In a large pot, sauté the minced beef filet in a little olive oil. Peel and dice the onion and garlic and add to the meat. Add salt, pepper, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, some oregano and the finely chopped chilli pepper. Stir well and then add the tomato paste. Add the rice gently and stir. Drain the beans and then fold in. Turn off the stove and cover the pot with a lid. Let stand for 5 minutes, then stir and then stand again for 5 minutes. Now wash the mint, shake dry and chop and mix with the yogurt. The rice dish is eaten together with the yoghurt, who does not like it, but can also omit it.
