Jordan's national dish is 'mensaf,' a kind of lamb stew made with goat's milk. It is made on special occasions and traditionally eaten with your hands.
Very good. I just have a couple tweaks. I added a few pods of cardamom and a chopped onion to the lamb, and strained the broth after the lamb finished cooking. Instead of jameed el-kasih (VERY hard to find), I used a large tub of whole fat yogurt (blended with abt a tbsp of cornstarch) with the broth, and served it with saffron rice with toasted almonds and pine nuts. Absolutely delish!! - 20 Jun 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
If you don't have goat's milk, use yogurt mixed with some whole milk to thin it out. - 17 Nov 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
