Mensaf (Jordanian Lamb Stew)

Recipe by: Nova

Be the first to review it!

Mensaf is the national dish of Jordan. It is made on special occasions and traditionally eaten with your hands. It's hard to find the whey needed to make 'real' mensaf. It comes in a rocklike form and is diluted and used in place of the jameed in this recipe. Even without it, this recipe comes close to the real thing. Spices, onions, garlic and butter can also be added to season the goat milk sauce.
