Leave in stock once done ( taste stock for your liking of seasoning).

In a large pot, melt the ghee and turn heat to low.

Remove meat from stock and shred with a fork, then evenly place as your 1st layer ( careful HOT)

Place tomato as 2nd layer into the pot then add eggplant as 3rd layer after that add the cauliflower.

Place the rice over the layers and spread evenly.

Strain the stock and carefully pour 6 CUPS over the rice

Cover the pot and place it over high heat until the water start to boil then reduce the heat to medium and keep until the Maklouba is cooked and no more water in pot. (NEVER stir rice)

Prepare flat serving plate and quickly flip the pot over the plate then hit the pot with hand from different places and gently lift it up.

Serve and enjoy Makloubi with your favorite side dish.
