Mansaf — jordanisches Lamm in fermentierter Joghurtsauce
The national dish of Jordan and the centrepiece of Bedouin hospitality: tender lamb slow-cooked in a tangy sauce of jameed — hard, dried fermented yogurt — then served over flatbread and spiced rice, drenched in the warm yogurt sauce and showered with toasted almonds and pine nuts. Mansaf is a communal feast, eaten from a vast shared platter, and the unmistakable sharp-savoury tang of jameed is what sets it apart from every other lamb-and-rice dish.
