["Melt together the butter and olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat, then add the diced meats and cook while stirring for 5 minutes; drain of excess fat, if any.", "Add most the broth (reserve about 1/4 cup), onion, and green pepper.", "Combine the curry powder with the reserved broth, then stir mixture into the broth mixture.", "Add the Herbes de Provence contained in a tea ball, salt, and freshly ground pepper, and simmer uncovered over medium heat for 30 minutes.", "Remove the herbs in the tea ball, add the uncooked rice and simmer (still uncovered), stirring occasionally, for an additional 30 minutes (checking now and then to make sure you're not running out of liquid - if so, add a little broth).", "Serve with cooked noodles (we served it over sauteed sherry asparagus and tofu).", "Note: when we prepared this dish, the lamb we had at home was ground, so that's what we used - it worked just fine; also, the original recipe called for a ""bouquet of herbs"" with no specific herbs or amounts indicated, so I substituted the Herbes de Provence.", "Note #2: the original recipe called for 2 quarts of broth and 3 tablespoons uncooked rice - as we prepared this dish, it simply didn't seem to work well and so we decreased the broth and increased the rice and it came out quite well."]
