Waiting for a cook
Djibouti
Skoudehkaris is Djibouti's national dish: lamb simmered in a spiced tomato sauce, then rice cooked in the same pot so it soaks up everything. The name is the Somali "isku dheh karis", which means "cook it all together", and that is the method. It is the dish of Fridays, weddings and Eid, and it can be made with beef, chicken or fish when there is no lamb.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 17 ingredients and 8 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
