Jalamah

(جلامة)

Jalamah is a lamb specialty that has traditionally been prepared in the Saudi Arabian region of 'Asir. It consists of pieces of very young lamb meat that's cooked with fat, onions, and a blend of Arabic spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, and black pepper.


The dish is usually accompanied by rice or flatbread on the side to soak up the flavorful gravy. This specialty is usually prepared on festive occasions such as the Eid al-Adha festival.
