Technique to learn

Layered Braising

Combining seared meat with dense vegetables and spiced tomato broth, then slow baking under cover until tender.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add lamb cubes and brown for 5-6 minutes. Remove lamb and set aside on a plate.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for 3 minutes until softened.

Step 4: Stir in ground baharat spice mix, crushed tomatoes, and halal beef broth, bringing liquid to a gentle boil.

Step 5: Add diced potatoes, sliced zucchini, and browned lamb back into skillet, stirring to combine.

Step 6: Cover skillet tightly with lid or foil and bake in oven for 35 minutes until vegetables and lamb are tender. Season with salt to taste before serving.

Cooking tips

Cut root vegetables evenly so they finish cooking at the same time as the tender lamb braise.
Let stew sit 5 minutes after baking to allow flavors to harmonize.
Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Egyptian; regional versions vary.
Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
