In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making the traditional Jordanian dish, Mansaf, using jameed (dried yogurt) and local ghee. This popular dish is known for its rich flavors and is perfect for gatherings, serving approximately six people. With a cooking time of about three hours, you will enjoy a delicious meal that showcases Jordanian cuisine.

Step 1: Prepare the Lamb

• In a pot, place the lamb pieces with enough water to cover them.
• Heat over medium heat until the water starts to boil and a white foam forms on the surface.
• Remove the foam and discard it completely.
• Add 2 bay leaves and 5 cardamom pods for flavor.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, strain the broth and set the lamb aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Jameed

• Take the jameed and break it into smaller pieces using a sharp knife.
• Soak the broken jameed in room temperature water for 30 minutes.
• After soaking, blend the jameed in a blender until it becomes a smooth paste.
• Strain the blended jameed to remove any lumps.

Step 3: Cook the Lamb with Jameed

• In a clean pot, combine the strained jameed and 4 cups of the lamb broth.
• Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Add the reserved lamb pieces back into the pot along with 1 tablespoon of ghee and any additional spices you prefer.
• Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours until the lamb is tender.

Step 4: Prepare the Rice

• In a separate pot, heat 1/4 cup of ghee over high heat.
• Add 4 cups of short-grain rice that has been previously soaked.
• Stir the rice in the ghee for a couple of minutes.
• Season the rice with 1 tablespoon of salt and add enough boiling water to cover the rice.
• Allow it to boil until the water evaporates to the level of the rice.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 25-30 minutes.

Step 5: Serve the Mansaf

• On a large serving platter, place 2 pieces of flatbread (shrak) as the base.
• Drizzle some of the jameed sauce over the bread.
• Layer the cooked rice on top of the bread.
• Arrange the lamb pieces over the rice, adding nuts (toasted almonds and pine nuts) and chopped parsley for garnish as desired.
• Serve the dish warm.
