We Tried Yemeni Lamb Haneeth With Adam Saleh

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than lamb.

saffron

🥗Healthier: turmeric

💰Cheaper: yellow food coloring

Turmeric provides color and flavor at a lower cost.

The dish is traditionally served at lunchtime and special events.

Lamb haneeth is slow-roasted for around four hours until tender.

The lamb is prepared with spices including paprika, cumin, curry, and black pepper.

The lamb is cooked with the fatty pieces on top to keep it moist.

The last hour of cooking allows the meat to steam, making it fall-off-the-bone tender.

Once ready, the dish is served with basmati rice or Yemeni bread, shared family-style.
