[EN] Steamed Lamb Head / رأس الخروف مبخر – CookingWithAlia – Episode 738

One of the unique dishes in Moroccan cuisine is “Steamed Lamb Head”… yep. It is! Now, you may like it or you may not, I have 2 thoughts regarding this:
1- This is a sustainable consumption of an animal. If we were to kill an animal for food, then consume the entire animal at least out of respect for this lost life.
2- Respect other cultures. You may not agree with others, and that’s fin, but you have to respect the difference.
RECIPE: https://www.cookingwithalia.com/738-lamb-head/

INGREDIENTS:
1 lamb head
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tomato, sliced
Water

To serve:
Chili pepper, to taste
Cumin, to taste
Salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS:
1- In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
2- Brush the head of the lamb with the oil spice mixture and set aside.
3- Fill the bottom part of a steamer or couscous pot with water and add a sliced tomato. The tomato will prevent your pot from getting a dark color.
4- Place the head in the top part of the steamer or the couscous cooker, tongue facing down. This will keep the skin in a good shape.
5- Cover with a layer of parchment paper then cover again with a layer of foil paper. Let steam for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
6- Serve with chili pepper, cumin, salt.
