ABOUT Arabic Oats and Meat Shurabah (soup) RECIPE

In Arabic , soup is called as "shurabah". The secret of this recipe is in cooking the soup long enough for the meat to become very tender and for the oats to become somewhat disintegrated and smooth that just melts in your mouth .

Ingredients Serving: 6

2 onions
3-4 garlic cloves
tomatoes / 1 cup tomato paste
1 cup oats
400 gm meat
1 tbsp powdered pepper
Salt to taste
2 maggi seasoning cubes
8-10 cups of water or accordingly .
2 tbsp butter / vegetable oil/ olive oil
A few coriander leaves ; chopped
Cinnamon sticks about 4
Peppercorns about 12

Instructions

In a wide and deep cooking pot , heat butter or oil .
Add cinnamon stick and peppercorns first. Next saute the onions and garlic for atleast 2 mins .
Add rest of the ingredients now including water.
Cover it with a lid and let it simmer on low flame for atleast an hour until the meat becomes tender and the soup gets thicker .
The more the amount of oats added , the thicker the soup will get .
For a change , you can also add any of your favourite veggies . Traditionally , it has nothing but meat and oats . But I do add some veggies always .
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves .
