INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the lamb into 1-inch pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large
casserole over medium heat. Add the lamb and chopped onion and saute 5
minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cinnamon, ginger, cumin,
saffron, chilies, garlic, cilantrol, salt, pepper, orange peel, honey,
juice of 1 lemon, and enough chicken broth or water to just cover
ingredients. Cover the casserole and simmer very slowly 2 hours,
stirring occasionally. Add the yellow onions, stir well, cover, and
simmer 20 minutes, or until onions are just tender. Preheat oven to
425 degrees F. With a slotted spoon, transfer ingredients to a large
bowl. Raise heat to high and reduce liquid by half. Add juice of the
remaining lemons, stirring well. Return ingredients to casserole, stir
until blended, taste for seasonings, and place in the preheated oven,
uncovered. When the top of the cammama is slightly glazed, serve
immediately, garnished with a few sprigs of cilantro, and accompanied
by rice, Date and Onion Sambal, a salad of diced cucumbers and ripe
tomatoes dressed with oil, vinegar, and salt, and a basket of warm
pita bread. AFTERTHOUGHT: You may substitute boned chicken thighs for
the lamb if you wish. Source: "Lilies of the Kitchen" by Barbara

A Message from our Provider:
“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
