I have a captive audience of the 3rd graders I teach, and show them my BGE cook photos.  They often share recipes with me they want me to try, and this is the latest.  The hardest part was tracking down the ingredients that I didn't have.

I typed up the recipe if anyone is interested.  It is basically a layer of rice followed by the meat (cooked) and then another layer of rice, covered and cooked for 30 minutes.  One of the steps was to steam ghee over live coals in a small cup on top of the rice before the bake.

This was a 1/2 recipe.  I actually made it a couple of weeks ago on the stove, but wanted to try it on the Egg.
