Technique to learn

Caraway Braising

Simmering lamb in tomato sauce seasoned with ground caraway to impart a distinctive, aromatic floral woodiness.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large deep pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Pat lamb cubes dry with paper towels, add to the pot, and brown evenly on all sides for 8 minutes.
Step 3: Add sliced garlic, ground caraway, and ground allspice, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Pour in crushed canned tomatoes and halal beef broth, scraping up brown bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 5: Bring stew to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and braise gently for 25 minutes.

Step 6: Add trimmed green beans, re-cover, and simmer for an additional 15 minutes until beans and lamb are fork-tender; stir in lemon juice right before serving.

Cooking tips

Browning the lamb thoroughly at the beginning creates deep flavor foundations for the sauce.
Fresh green beans added near the end stay bright and hold a pleasant bite.
Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Palestinian; 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.
