Mansaf the Jordanian National Dish / المنسف الاردني على اصوله

I dedicate this recipe to my dear sister Dr. Gladis and her family. My sister is married to a Jordanian. I hope I made it the right way! Of course it won’t be tasty as hers but I tried my best :). I used ready Jameed from Middle eastern store but she uses the real deal. It is a traditional Jordanian dish made of lamb cooked in a sauce of fermented dried yogurt (Jameed) and served with rice. It is often eaten with hands. It is mostly served in the weddings and special occasions. I have made this recipe with chicken before (link below) but this time I made it with lamb meat. The authentic way is to use lamb meat. It is easy and delicious but it needs a few steps. My Love and respect to my dear sister . Ok Now let start :).
The ingredients
One Box of Jameed ( I used half about 2 cups)
2-3 cups of plain yogurt. Thick and sour
2-3 pound of lamb pieces bone in.
2-3 inch cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
2 to 4 cloves
2 to 4 whole cardamom .
4 to 6 whole black peppercorn.
one small onion cut in half
Almonds slivered or pine nuts fried in a little of oil and set aside.
1-2 tsp turmeric
Chopped parsley about 1 cup
4 cups white rice. You have to use Long grains.
Shrak or lavash Bread
salt to taste
oil
Steps:-
1-How to cook the lamb meat :-
1-In medium pot put meat pieces and water to cover the meat and bring to boil on high heat.
2- When the water comes to boil discard the water and wash pieces of meat and the pot.
3- Put back pieces of meat and clean water in the pot and cook over high heat.
4- Add whole spices, onion and ½ tsp of turmeric and cover.
5-When the water comes to boil reduce the heat to low-medium.
6-Cover and cook for about 1 ½ to 2 hours or until the meat is tender.
7- Add salt in last ½ hour of the total of the cooking time. Don’t add a lot of salt to the meat just about 1 tsp because the yogurt sauce is salty already.
2-How to cook the yogurt and jameed sauce:-
1-Mix Jameed, yogurt well.
2-Add about 2-3 cups of the meat broth and mix very well. Depend how thin or thick you like your sauce to be.
3-Cook over low-medium heat with stirring constantly until the mixture comes to boil.
4-Add meat pieces and continue cooking and stirring until it is boiling for about 15 minutes or until it reaches the consistency of your desired.
3-How to cook the rice:-
1-Wash the rice a few times until the water run clear.
2-Soak in the water mix with 1 tsp turmeric for about 15 minutes.
3-Add about ½ cup oil to a medium pot and heat it over medium heat.
4-Add the drained rice over the heated oil and mix well about 3 minutes.
5-Add boiling water and 2 tsp of salt. For each cup of rice add 1 ½ cup water. Don’t add too much salt because the yogurt sauce is already salty.
6-Keep boiling until most of the water is absorbed then lower the heat and cook for about 20 minutes.
To serve:
• Place the bread on a big platter.
• Ladle on enough Jameed and yogurt sauce to make the bread at the bottom moist.
• Top the bread with the rice.
• Place meat pieces on top of the rice.
• Decorate with pine nuts or almonds and chopped parsley.
• Pour the rest of the sauce into a large bowl for serving on side .
Enjoy:)

How can you cook mansaf without jameed. I am in Kenya and I really I love mansaf but we can't get jameed...

[@Tasty-Dishes]

Amer Omar hello there and thank you for stopping by my channel:) in this case just use good thick sour yogurt. Have a great day !

[@janicejulzmarie]

Mashallah! ! ! Easy, simple. ...yummy! Want to shorten the time for boiling the meat? Use pressure cooker 😉😆

[@Tasty-Dishes]

Thank you so much

[@rahimabegum877]

I live in London

[@mscekennedy]

I live in uk and can't find jameed. Is there a substitute. Can I use plain yoghurt?

[@Tasty-Dishes]

Catherine Kennedy Hello there , but as far as I know there are many Middle Eastern stores in UK , you can find it there ! But if you can’t find it use really thick yogurt and add a bit of salt and citric acid to it because Jameed is salty a lot and sour a little !

[@ritag8059]

I made this one today can you do a recipe for booza? That Arabic pistachio ice cream pleaseeeee

The Mansaf story started 2880 years a go , a Jordanian leader name Maishaa was being attacked by the Israelites killing and raping and burning people homes decided to find if the Israelites have any ally between his people, he order to cook the meat with yogurt which is forbidden for the Jews , he created an army He rallied his troops and went back on the attack and he defeated them, He found he had 4000 soldiers prisoners of war , He decided to use them to build a new city for the people whose homes got burned by the Israelí and he Named it Karak in South of Jordan 859 years B.C.

Made this last night for my Palestinian friend. It turned out wonderful as printed/viewed. I did use basmati rice instead of long grain white. Next time I would use more lamb. I used cross cut lamb shanks and the weight of the bone may have taken away from the meat total. This is a keeper. My friend even sent pics to his family in Gaza and Riyadh telling it was just like home.
