What it is
A rustic and satisfying skillet dish, often prepared for breakfast or a quick meal. It typically involves pan-frying spiced leftover meat (such as lamb or beef) with onions, garlic, and sometimes tomatoes, often finished with cracked eggs. Distinct from Khlii, as it uses fresh or previously cooked but not cured meat.
Key ingredients
Cooked lamb or beef (e.g., leftover mechoui, or fresh cubed meat), olive oil, onions, garlic, cumin, paprika, ginger, eggs (optional), parsley, cilantro.
Optional tweaks
None typically needed, as it is naturally low-carb. Ensure no potatoes are added.
Watch out for
Addition of potatoes or other starchy vegetables, excessive use of onions/tomatoes if not portion-controlled.
