Soak the rice in warm salted water for 15 minutes and drain.
Cut the lamb liver into small cubes.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Add the liver, pine nuts, currants, and rice, then toast for 6 minutes.
Add the allspice, black pepper, cinnamon, and salt, leaving the rice half firm.
Open a pocket inside the lamb ribs with a knife and fill it with the rice.
Sew the opening with kitchen string, dilute the tomato paste, and brush it over the meat.
Add 1 cup water to the sura tray and bake at 180°C for 2.5 hours.
💡 Tip: Leaving the rice half firm prevents it from turning mushy as it absorbs meat juices in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the meat and serve the stuffed rice alongside with ayran and pickles.
