How to Make Barmia
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the lamb pieces and brown on all sides. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the lamb simmer for at least 45 minutes, or until it is very tender. Longer is better!
- Stir in the chopped cilantro during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Serve hot over fluffy rice, with warm pita bread on the side. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
