hi becky

well the most traditional dish is rice with meat.

you prepare the dish (meat part first) by first placing the meat into a pan half filled with water and leave to boil. when it comes to boil you add your spices such as ground pepper, paprika and other meaty spices. leave it to sidder and when the water has almost evaporated add a bit of olive oil and turn the meat wait for the water to evaporate completely, then turn off the cooker.

(now for the rice)

you put olive oil in a pan, enough to cover the surface of the pan. you then add spices such as cinnamon, carddemon, nut meg and other similar spices in the pan. use a vegetable stock to add more flavour and also saffron is also sometimes added to give colour to the rice. cut onions into small squares and add to the pan. leave it to sidder then add the rice ( amount depending on the ppl) stir the mixture of the onions with the rice. add enough water to cover the rice and then wrap aluminium foil over the pan ( this is to keep the steam in) and turn the cooker to a minimum of heat. wait for the water to evaporate. the rice is then ready to serve with the meat.

this can be served additionally with the rice it as it is very traditional.

-bananas

-raisins, sweetcorn and peas

hope this is helpful

Beth,

Tomake a mufo needs a southern Somali person to show you, it takes time and effort, but all that is worth it, Mufo with lamb stew is the best, please ask any Somali lady around your town, make sure she is from South, Mufo is part of daily diet of Southern Somalia, especially: Mogadishu, Marka, Barawe and Kismayo.

Good Luck.

Hi Abdul,

I've been wanting to make a lamb dish to serve with pilau. I had this dish at a Somalian restaurant in Nairobi and it was amazing. It was a rice dish, that was called pilau which was a seasoned basmati rice dish with pieces of lamb or goat mixed in. It was served with a separate dish of lamb. I've been trying to re-create the dish but I'm not sure how to go about it. Do you know a lamb maraq recipe or another lamb dish to serve with rice?

Many thanks,

FoodLuver
