Shayans Global Cooking - Djibouti National Dish

It has taken me a while just to get to D, so that you to those who have stuck by me.
The vote was very close between Djibouti and the Dominican Republic but Djibouti edged in front.

As a true democrat I went with the vote and finally cooked their natonal dish - Skoudekharis. Stew with Rice.

So the ingredients are above. I have to say a big thank you The Global Table Adventure, another blogger who has done this challenge and I used his recipe for the Skoudekharis with rice. I do enjoy cooking and this was a fun dish to cook.

Here are the ingredients:

• Diced Lamb
• Two red onions
• cup of rice
• Salt
• Pepper
• Can of chopped tomatoes
• ground cumin
• ground cayenne
• ground cardamon
• ground cinnamon
• chili flakes
• Water
• Sunflower Oil

MAGIC

So how it works is:

• Gently fry the onions and then add all the ground spices and let them sizzle away until the onions are translucent
• Add the diced lamb and fry to brown- do not over cook
• Add in the Chopped tomatoes and water until the meat is covered and let this simmer gently for about 45 minutes- until the meat is tender and not overcooked
• Once done, add the rice and a splash of more water for another twenty minutes with the lid off, the stew will reduce so it resembles more of a rice dish then a soup
• season to taste and EAT

​MAGIC

On to E next. There are a few more options this time, so keep your eyes peeled ready for the vote.
