Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Soak rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.
Sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in diced lamb and chicken, cooking until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Add spices, including cinnamon and bay leaves, stirring to combine.
Mix in the drained rice, ensuring it's coated with the oil and spices.
Pour in enough water to cover the rice by about an inch.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover, cooking for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork, mixing in toasted nuts and dried fruits.
Serve warm, garnished with additional nuts if desired.
