Ingredients
  • 1 kg lamb (shoulder or leg, cut into medium-sized pieces)
  • 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 onions, cut into thick slices
  • 250 ml of water
Preparation
  1. 1
    Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, pepper and salt. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
  2. 2
    Marinate the lamb: Rub the lamb pieces with the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  3. 3
    Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Meanwhile, place the onion rings at the bottom of a baking dish. This will serve as a flavor base and prevent the meat from sticking.
  4. 4
    Slow cooking: Place the marinated lamb pieces on the onions and add 250 ml of water to the bottom of the dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to seal in heat and moisture. Place in the oven and cook for 3 hours, until the lamb is tender and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. 5
    Brown the lamb: Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and remove the aluminum foil. Cook for another 15 to 20 minutes to obtain a nice golden color on the lamb. You can also cook your lamb in Ninja Foodi, in slow cook mode.

    Serve hot: Lamb Haneeth is traditionally eaten with fragrant basmati rice. Serve with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal. You can also accompany it with a Yemeni yogurt sauce .
