I can see my momma making this 😂😂
Just because I want to make this, I transcribed the recipes as well as I could. If I’ve missed a step, or flubbed one, do let me know.
Berbere Braised Lamb
2 tbsp vegetable oil 2 lbs lamb shoulder salt black pepper 2 red onions, chopped ¼ c ghee 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp ginger, minced 1 tbsp paprika 1 tsp cayenne ½ tsp ground fenugreek ¼ tsp ground nutmeg ½ tsp ground cardamom ¼ tsp ground cloves ¼ tsp ground cinnamon ¼ tsp ground allspice 2 tbsp tomato paste 2 c beef broth
Brown the lamb in the vegetable oil and remove it from the pan. In the same pan place the red onions; cook (I assume over medium heat) until soft and browned. Add the ghee, garlic, ginger and spices and stir it all together. Add the tomato paste, stir well; add the beef broth and stir until everything is well mixed. Return the lamb to the pan and stir well; bring to a simmer and cover, and let simmer for an hour.

Jeweled Vegetable Pilau
¼ c ghee 2 red onions, julienned ½ head green cabbage, shredded 2 c carrots, shredded 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp ginger, minced salt black pepper 1 tbsp cumin 1 tbsp curry powder 1 tsp cardamom 2 cups basmati rice 1 bay leaf 1 cinnamon stick 1 star anise
Melt the ghee in a pan and add the onions; cook until soft and browned. Add the cabbage, carrot, garlic, and ginger, stir (over what I assume is medium heat) until the vegetables are soft. Add salt, pepper, spices, and rice, and mix well. Add 3 cups of water and stir very well. Add bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Cover and cook over low heat, 20-25 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and star anise before serving.
Serve the lamb over the rice, sprinkled with chopped scallions, cashews, and pomegranate seeds.
Last night I dreamed that there was a Baroque oil painting called The Madness of Spiders Georg, which featured a damatically lit, wretched old man huddled in a cave with his eyes bugging out and his face a mask of gluttony, shoveling fistfulls of spiders into his open mouth.
Tumblr is fucking with my brain.
I really want to see that painting.
If you search spiders georg as a tag on my blog ive labelled all the paintings and ink pieces neatly
