Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Lamb
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Cook the Lamb
Add the lamb shoulder to the pot, searing it on all sides until browned. Season with salt, black pepper, and Yemeni spice mix, stirring to coat the meat evenly.
3. Add Vegetables and Water
Stir in the diced tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
4. Simmer
Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and easily shredded with a fork. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary.
5. Shred the Lamb
Once the lamb is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded lamb back to the pot and mix well with the vegetables and sauce.
6. Serve
Serve hot with rice or flatbread, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
