Ingredients
Start here, then move straight into the method.
- 1 kg plain yogurt
- 250 g stewing meat pieces (called "mowzat" — usually taken from veal shank)
- Salt
- Cinnamon sticks
- 1 onion
- Garlic 5 cloves
- Water for boiling the meat
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- Fluffy rice
- 2 cups rice
- 1/2 cup vermicelli
- 4 cups water
Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- First, start by boiling the meat with the aromatics. Put the meat in a pressure cooker over the heat with two cinnamon sticks, an onion and salt; cover with water and pressure-cook for 15 minutes. If using a regular pot, you may prefer not to add salt until the meat is tender — it cooks faster that way.Timers: 15 min
- In a second pot, combine 1 kg yogurt with 5 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 cups of water, mixing well while cold. Then place the pot over low heat and stir constantly until the yogurt is well heated.
- When the meat is cooked, take a cup or two of the cooking liquid and add it to the yogurt in batches, stirring continuously.
- When the mixture is smooth and comes to a boil, add the cooked meat pieces and let them simmer in the yogurt until the stew thickens slightly.
- Finely chop the garlic and fry it in oil until softened and lightly browned, then add it on top of the yogurt along with a small sprinkle of dried mint and remove from the heat.
- Serve the Shakriyah with the fluffy rice.
