👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Heat ghee or oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and brown them on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Remove the lamb and set aside.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and dried black limes (if using). Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 1 minute - 5
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in the water or broth. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the lamb is becoming tender.
⏱️ 1 hour - 6
Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 7
Add the zucchini and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender and the lamb is very tender. If the stew is too thick, add a little more water or broth.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 8
While the stew is simmering, prepare the bread. Tear the regag bread or other flatbread into large pieces and arrange them in a large serving dish.

💡 Consejos de Profesional
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can use homemade lamb or chicken broth instead of water.
- ✓Adjust the spices to your preference. Some variations include a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- ✓If regag bread is unavailable, other thin, unleavened flatbreads like lavash or saj can be used, though they may soak up liquid differently.
