Mansaf can be cooked in jameed
(the Arabic word for dried yogurt), which is then mixed with water in
a tray to produce a creamy sauce. This is poured into the large stewing
pot with chunks of lamb meat. The pot is put over an open fire. As the
stew begins to warm, it is stirred to prevent the yogurt from separating.
When using yogurt only , one must watch the heat as yogurt tends to fall
apart when hot.
