How shuwa is made

Описание: How shuwa is made

Shuwa is a traditional Omani meat dish cooked in an underground oven during Eid.

It makes for a beautiful set of communal traditions where each member has a task. 

Different families have their own recipes for shuwa, but all of them share these steps:

Marinate the meat in a spice blend paste (bizaar) with spices, garlic, vinegar, and tamarind. 

Layer the meat in a sack made of date tree leaves (khassfa), seperated by banana leaves soaked in water. 

Take the sacks in an underground firewood oven (tanoor) and place them inside. 

Seal the tanoor so that no air can enter and the steam is trapped inside. 

Wait for at least 24 hours and no more than 48 hours. 

Remove the sacks, open, and serve the meat with plain white rice.
