作法
- 煮飯：厚底鍋以中火融化酥油，下豆蔻、肉桂與丁香炒60秒至香氣四溢。下米拌炒90秒至每粒裹油。倒入加了番紅花的雞高湯，煮沸後轉最小火，加蓋燜18分鐘，再悶10分鐘，用叉子撥鬆。
- 香蕉葉於火上烤軟備用，切成25公分方片。
- 鋪一張軟化的香蕉葉，中央放一份番紅花飯，周圍依序擺上少量：綜合肉咖哩、茄子moju、焦糖洋蔥桑波、2顆frikkadel肉丸、blachan、半顆水煮蛋。
- 將葉片折成緊實的長方形包裹——先將兩對邊包過內容物，再將另兩對邊包好，以牙籤或棉線固定。
- 重複完成6個lamprais包，置於烤盤上。
- 180°C烤25分鐘——葉片會略焦，內容物溫熱並吸收香蕉葉的清香。上桌時當眾打開，香氣瞬間釋出。徒手享用；lamprais就是一包完整的一餐。
Common questions
Can 蘭普里斯（Lamprais） be made ahead?

How hard is 蘭普里斯（Lamprais） to make at home?

文化背景
Lamprais來自斯里蘭卡的荷蘭—錫蘭混血社群（Burgher）——他們是荷蘭殖民者與本地人通婚的後裔。名字源自荷蘭語「lomprijst」（一團飯）。這道菜是可倫坡Burgher家庭的週日午餐傳統。每一個元素都是獨立的料理；從零開始做一道lamprais是半天的工程，因此居家廚師通常分數天備齊各部分，週日當天才組裝。
