How to Make Yemen Fatah

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound of lamb or beef, cut into 1-inch strips. Brown the meat on all sides, stirring frequently, for about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of lamb broth (or beef broth). Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the meat is tender.
  4. While the meat simmers, prepare 1 cup of couscous according to package directions.
  5. Serve the flavorful lamb mixture over a bed of hot couscous. Garnish generously with fresh parsley, chopped.
