Yemeni meat stew
1/4 C vegetable oil
1 LB ground beef or lamb
2 onions, chopped
4 potatoes, peeled & cubed
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
Salt & black pepper to taste
5 C beef broth
2 eggs, beaten
2 TBS fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
2 TBS Zhoug (herb & spice blend)
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground meat and onions; cook for about ten minutes, stirring often. Add the cubed potatoes, tomatoes, salt, black pepper and beef broth. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about one hour or until meat and potatoes are fully cooked. Add water if mixture appears too thick or dry. Stir in beaten eggs and chopped cilantro; cook and stir for about two minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in Zhoug. Serve.
Note: Saltah is considered to be Yemen's national dish.
