Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 and 1/2 lbs (700g) diced lamb
-
1 large onion, roughly chopped
-
3 sweet or hot green peppers, chopped
-
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
-
2 tomatoes, chopped
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon black pepper
-
½ teaspoon cumin
-
1 teaspoon oregano
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over high heat. You can use any thin-bottomed pan like saç or wok. If you don’t have these, use a cast iron pan.
- Add in oil and diced lamb. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally for 7-8 minutes. Let the meat release its juice and then absorb most of it.
- Bring the heat to medium heat and add in the chopped onion. Cook until the meat is tender (for 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally. If the meat you use doesn’t have enough fat, you might need to add extra oil at this step.
- Add in peppers and tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes. Don’t let them completely cook and get too soft.
- Add in all the spices, give it a good stir, cook for 2 minutes and serve.
Notes
- If you use beef or goat meat, you will need to cook the meat longer.
- If you can find lamb tail fat, use it instead of oil. Put the diced fat with the diced lamb in the pan at the same time.
- Cook the meat over high heat first.
- If the meat is about to stick before it gets tender, add a splash of water and continue cooking.
