Mansaf

 Mansaf is a pyramid of tangy aged yogurt or whey-drenched rice with a deflectable core of tender lamb chunks, garnished with toasted almonds. It is one of Jordan's most important dishes.

METHOD

Wash whey and soak in water for an hour. Mash in blender, then let dry.

Wash meat and put in a tray. Cover with water. Let soak. Add onion (cut into squares), then boiled until partly cooked. Remove meat, saving the broth.

Mix whey juice with the soup and let boil. (It can be thickened with cornstarch as wished.) Add meat and simmer until meat is cooked well.

Cook rice. Place two or three Arabic loaves of bread on a tray. Put rice on the bread in a pyramid, then arrange pieces of meat on the surface. Decorated with the pine nuts and almonds.

Mansaf is served with hot whey juice which is sprayed on mansaf as wished.
