Yemeni Saltah Lamb Stew with Zhug
Saltah, the national dish of Yemen is a simple stew flavoured with a mix of spices known as hawayji - a blend of black pepper, caraway, green cardamon, turmeric and saffron. On its own it’s a fairly humble dish but the flavours are hugely elevated with the addition of two very unusual condiments - hilbeh, which provides a tangy freshness and zhug, which provides lots of fiery heat.

Delicious explosion of flavour
Super easy and wonderfully authentic, I definitely recommend this. The Zhug was a little too hot for my taste but easily remedied with addition of some yoghurt.
Thanks for your review- it's great to hear you enjoyed this!
Great recipe the accompanying sauces really made this dish. The zesty green one was definitely my favourite. Not normally a massive lamb fan but this one was so tender and tasty. We will definitely try with flatbreads next time to mop up those delicious sauces.
Yum, this looks delicious - fantastic work! We're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed this tender lamb dish. Flatbreads to mop up the sauce would definitely be a great addition next time!
This was a revelation! Really tasty and fairly easy to make, my fussy husband was also impressed!!
We're so pleased to hear that this humble stew and its unusual condiments went down a treat with you both - it looks great! Nice work!
