Instead of onion, I used the white and light green part of 2 large (1" x 6") leeks. I also had to use 2 finely chopped preserved lemons and a rounded tsp of ground fenugreek seeds. The first time I used boneless short ribs-mmm, mmm, good!

Of course the method of production is a little more complicated: In the old time they would cut boneless meat into small pieces, in a pot, with a little water would cook it half way through, add salt, and cook until water disappears. Then add extracted lamb tail fat - Donbeh Fat - and fry with diced onions until completely browned.

I think I put a little too much water in and maybe overcooked (did slow cooker low 8 hrs so probably too much) so the herb flavour was less strong than compared to what my colleagues prepare. However, I added a little curry powder and this pepped it up. Delicious all the same and I'll tweak it next time accordingly.
