👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Wash the lamb pieces and pat them dry. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and garlic and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- 2
Add the lamb pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides. Stir in the baharat, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
- 3
Add the quartered tomatoes and the diluted tomato puree to the pot. Stir well to combine. Pour in enough water to cover the lamb and vegetables. Bring the stew to a boil.
- 4
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1 hour, or until the lamb is partially tender. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
- 5
Add the potato chunks to the pot. Stir gently, ensuring the potatoes are submerged in the liquid. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 1 to 1.5 hours, or until both the lamb and potatoes are very tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if the stew becomes too thick.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. The stew should have a rich, tangy flavor from the tomatoes and a depth from the lamb and spices.

Serve the Marag Botat hot, traditionally accompanied by white rice or warm flatbread.
