Fearless Cooking: Underground Lamb and Chicken in Iraqi Street Food

Ignite firewood inside the barrel until it turns into embers.

Place the meat inside the barrel over the embers.

Use a metal basket or wrap the food in tin foil, then close the barrel with its lid to prevent air from entering.

Ensure there is no air outlet to maintain the intense heat for cooking.

Cook for three to four hours, allowing the fat from the meat to flow down over the rice.
