Ingredients

  • meat for 4-5 people (lamb, mutton, beef or camel)
  • 5 cloves of garlic, smashed
  • 1 Tablespoon of turmeric powder
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 3-4 cups of fresh vegetables chopped in big pieces (carrots, zucchini, eggplant, green beans, potatoes, okra and/or bell pepper)
  • 3 Tablespoons of Omani mixed spices (or 1 Tablespoon ground coriander, 1 Tablespoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, and a couple of whole cloves)
  • 3 Tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 3 Tablespoons of fresh, chopped cilantro or parsley (optional)
  • fresh hot peppers or ground cayenne pepper, to taste
  • salt or bouillon, to taste
  • serve over white rice

Directions

1

Leave some meat on the bones (if any) and cut the rest into 1 inch cubes. In a large pan, bring about 7 cups of water to boil. Add the meat. In a few minutes, skim off the foam that collects on the top of the water with a spoon. Add the smashed garlic and turmeric powder. Cover and boil for a few hours, until the meat starts to get tender.

2

Add the chopped onion, tomato, vegetables, and the rest of the ingredients. Boil until the meat and all of the vegetables are very tender. Add water, if needed, to make it as dry or as soupy as you like it.

3

Serve the "saloonah" over white rice.
