- ✓For a more authentic flavor, consider using a cast-iron pot or Dutch oven, which distributes heat evenly.
- ✓If cooking outdoors over an ojak (traditional stove), adjust heat by managing the coals.
- ✓Don't rush the simmering process; the long, slow cook is key to tender lamb and developed flavors.
