Kamounia

Liver and offal simmered in a thick cumin-forward sauce — the dish of the Eid morning, when nothing of the sacrifice is wasted.

History and culture

On Eid al-Adha the kamounia pot goes on first; cumin, the spice that names the dish, tames and deepens the offal into celebration food.

Ingredients

  • 500 g liver and offal, cubed
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • Onion, garlic, tomato
  • Oil, salt, chilli

How it is made

  1. Sear the offal hard with onion.
  2. Add garlic, tomato and a little water.
  3. Season generously with cumin; simmer thick.
