Add Flavor to Your 9×13 with This Bukharian Rice & Beef

9x13 life bcp9×13 meals don’t need to be basic. If you love one dish meals that are loaded with exotic flavor, you’ll love this Bukharian Green Rice & Beef dish, also known as “Baksh.” 

Traditionally, this rice is supposed to be green. I usually use 4-5 bunches to achieve that (but we’ve used less here to appeal to the masses). You can also add za’atar spice, which adds great flavor!

Don’t like cilantro? You can also use parsley instead or a combination of herbs. Dill would also pair nicely. Dark chicken or lamb can also be used instead of beef.

The chopping of the meat and herbs takes some time, but once that is done the rest is 1-2-3.

Add the rice, cilantro, onion, and meat to your 9×13.

Add seasoning.

Add oil and water. 

And mix!

      Yea I do it all the time, just make sure you cover it tightly and check on it every 35 min to make sure it doesn’t get too dry. Add water and or oil if you find it too dry.

    I also find that sautéing the meat/chicken with onions for 10-15 min 1st adds a lot of flavor to this dish. Spice the chicken as you sauté just don’t overdo it cause you also will need to spice the rice once you put everything together.

    Looks so yummy! Love that it’s a change from the paprika, duck sauce etc. Can’t wait to try! Anyone know what kind of meat to use for this if you’re in Israel?

    Looks great! Can’t wait to try! When it goes back into the oven for the second time, is it supposed to be covered as well?

    Super yummy and so easy to make! I had a boyfriend from ten years ago who was Bukharian and his mother would always send this rice home with him. Now married with lots of time to cook during COVID I remembered this rice and looked for it as “Bukharian green rice”. I remember stories that it is typically made in a bag but was pleased to see this easy alternative method. I used brown rice and beef eye round and found that the time did not need to be adjusted, though I did add more water bc of the brown rice. My husband and three year old son ate it up! Delicious and definitely worth trying!!!

    Would this work with boneless chicken thighs instead of the beef?
