Meat Dish

India

Aab gosht is a traditional lamb curry originating from Kashmir. The dish is usually made with a combination of lamb, milk, onions, ginger-garlic paste, cardamom, ghee, fennel, cinnamon, cloves, black peppercorns, and salt. The lamb is cut into pieces and shortly simmered in water with the garlic, ginger, and salt. Once firm, the meat is drained and set aside. Milk is boiled with cardamom until it thickens, and the rest of the ingredients are then added to the mixture along with the meat. The curry is simmered over low heat until the meat is fully tender, and the dish is then ready to be enjoyed. Aab gosht is traditionally served with steamed rice on the side.

Abbacchio, or milk-fed lamb, has been a Roman springtime delicacy since ancient times, and it is no different today - this festive dish is traditionally prepared for Easter, usually accompanied by roasted potatoes. The lamb is first marinated and then slowly stewed with rosemary, sage, garlic, white wine, vinegar, and anchovies (a modern age replacement for garum, a fish sauce made with fermented and salted anchovies, widely used in ancient Roman cuisine.) The result is exquisitely tender, very aromatic, and slightly sweet meat with a sharp, strong, and salty kick.

Abbacchio alla Romana

Abbacchio, or milk-fed lamb, has been a Roman springtime delicacy since ancient times. In this version, the lamb is slowly braised with prosciutto, then thickened with a mixture of lemon and egg yolks just before serving. Both the lamb and the eggs are symbols of the crucifixion and Christ's resurrection, so it is no surprise that this dish is traditionally prepared for Easter, but it is also often prepared for less festive opportunities - it is too delicious to enjoy it only on a single day of the year.

Iranian abgoosht is a hearty one-pot stew that has its origins in ancient Persia. It is traditionally prepared with lamb or mutton, but beef can be used in some variations. The dish also incorporates potatoes, beans, legumes, and various Iranian spices and ingredients, all cooked in a flavorful tomato-infused broth. Abgoosht is typically served in two parts. The meat, vegetables, and legumes are removed from the stock and are served separately. The broth is enjoyed first and is then followed by meat and vegetables that are usually mashed in a roughly-textured paste (goosht kubideh). Occasionally, the meat and vegetables can be served whole, but always separated from the broth. The rustic abgoosht, also known as dizi, is one of the most popular Iranian dishes. It is often served along with fresh herbs (sabzi khordan) and flatbread.

This pork-based dish regularly appears on Cypriot and Greek tables. Its name stems from ovelia, the ancient Greek word for cooked meat. Afelia is traditionally prepared in a traditional earthenware vessel called tava, which is typically placed into clay ovens in order to slowly cook until done. The dish consists of just a few ingredients: cubed pork meat (shoulder or short rib), dry red wine (used to tenderize the meat), and crushed coriander seeds. In fact, coriander is a cornerstone spice in Cyprus, and it is rare to find a true traditional Cypriot dish without it. Afelia is bursting with a fragrant combination of sweet and sour flavors, and it is usually served with accompaniments such as crusty bread, potatoes, or pourgouri - a pilaf made with vermicelli, bulgur wheat, and chicken broth.
