Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot on medium-high heat. Add diced onions and sauté, stirring occasionally.

1

When the onion turns translucent add rice, salt, cumin, cardamom, and water. Cover the pot and let it come to a boil.

2

Give everything a stir to lift any rice that’s stuck to the bottom. Add vegan lamb to the center of the pot. Cover, turn down the heat, and gently simmer.

3

After 15 minutes, remove from heat and set aside, covered, for another 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the toppings.
