Qlaba / Glaba / Khusar — خصار اؤ قلابة
May 21, 2012 by lamyaalmas
You might have come across this dish in Yemeni restaurants. Usually it’s meat [beef, lamb or chicken] with vegetables [popularly with potatoes or carrots]. You can add any vegetables you like. I added green beans and potatoes. Alright Bismillah let’s start. You will need:
1) 2 pounds of lamb cut into 2 bite-size cubes with or without bone
2) 2 medium onions diced
3) 3 tbslp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4) 1 red chili pepper cut down the middle
5) fistful of of green beans
6) 3 medium potatoes halved or quartered [you don’t want them to look bigger than the meat so eyeball how you should cut them]
7) 3 cloves of garlic finely minced
8) 1 tsp of ground cumin
9) 1 tsp of ground coriander
10) 1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon
11) 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper
12) 1/4 of a cube of beef or chicken bouillon
13) tomato peeled and diced
14) salt to taste
15) 2 tblsp of cilantro finely chopped
I used a pressure cooker to cut on cooking time, but you can use a regular pot of course. Add the oil to the cooker/pot and let them saute. Add the garlic and let that cook, but make sure it does not burn. Then add the meat and let it cook for a little. Then add the rest of the ingredients except for the potatoes and let cook for about 5 minutes. Then add the potatoes and cook for 3 minutes, and then add a cup of water and close the pressure cooker, or cover if you are using a regular pot. Cook under medium low heat until meat is tender. Serve hot with bread.

SALAM,
I made this for my husband whom is Yemeni. He loved it and so did I! It came out with a great flavor! The only thing I didn’t put in it was cinnamon since my hubby isn’t a fan. Still was excellent. Thank u so much! Ma salama
