directions

  • Soak the almonds in boiling water for 2 hours. Put the almonds, their soaking liquid, the ginger, and garlic into a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the oil into a medium pan over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and bay leaves and stir-fry them until fragrant, 5-10 seconds. Put in half the meat and brown on all sides. Remove the meat with tongs and put in a bowl. Brown the remaining meat the same way.
  • Return the rest of the browned meat to the pan. Pour in the almond paste. Add the cayenne, salt, and saffron. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to low, and simmer gently for 60 to 75 minutes or until the meat is tender. Add the cream and cook on medium-high heat for a few minutes so the sauce thickens.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
