The Art of Preparation

Our Lamb Kabsa Saudi/Yemeni is prepared using traditional methods to ensure an authentic taste. Here’s a glimpse into our preparation process:

Selecting the Lamb

We source the highest quality lamb to ensure tenderness and flavor. The lamb is carefully selected for its freshness and quality, which are crucial for achieving the desired results.

Marinating

The lamb is marinated in a blend of traditional spices, including cinnamon, cloves, black lime, black pepper, cardamom, and bay leaves. The marinade infuses the meat with rich flavors and helps to tenderize it.

Cooking

The marinated lamb is cooked with Basmati rice in a large pot, along with tomatoes, onions, and spices. The cooking method allows the rice to absorb the spices and the juices from the lamb, resulting in a dish that is rich in flavor and aroma. Ghee or oil is used to enhance the richness of the dish, and the addition of raisins and nuts provides a delightful contrast in texture and taste.

Serving

Once cooked, the Lamb Kabsa is arranged in a large serving dish, garnished with toasted nuts and raisins. This dish is meant to be shared, embodying the spirit of communal dining that is central to Saudi and Yemeni culture.
