Of course, the method of preparing Abgousht is almost the same in all cities of the country. Stay with us to see the complete traditional cooking tutorial and step-by-step how to prepare the Abgousht.

Necessary ingredients for 4 people

500 grams of stewed meat

Half a glass of white beans

Half a cup of chickpeas

2 tomatoes

2 medium potatoes

2 medium onions

Tomato paste 2 tablespoons

Enough salt and black pepper

Enough turmeric

How to cook the Abgousht

First stage

To prepare the Abgousht, it is better to soak chickpeas and white beans in two bowls of water separately the night before. Change the water in the Abgousht several times so that the swelling of the beans is completely removed and they are easier to cook.

Second stage

Pour some oil into a pot and add the meat to start cooking. Fry the meat well until its color changes, then rinse the peas and beans, add them to the pot, and fry them for about a minute.

Third level

At this stage, we add the tomato skin and one of the onions to the pot, then add 8 glasses of boiling water. One of the essential points about making the broth tastier is adding boiling water.

The fourth stage

We reduce the heat under the pot and let the broth cook with a very gentle heat. After you add the boiling water, let your broth ingredients stay on low heat for 2 to 2 hours and 30 minutes until the broth thickens.

The fifth stage

After 2 hours and 30 minutes, we wash the potatoes and add them to the pot. After adding the potatoes, remove the fat in the pot and beat it well with the remaining onion until they are completely crushed, then add it to the pot again.

The sixth stage

After the meat is fully cooked, fry the tomato paste well in a small pan until it is fried, then add it to the pot with some salt and black pepper. Roasting tomato paste makes the broth more colorful.

The seventh stage

After adding the tomato paste, we let the Abgousht stay on low heat for another 30 minutes until it is completely absorbed, then we take it off the heat and set it aside. You can serve the broth in two ways.

The eighth stage

The first and traditional method is to serve the broth separately, beat the rest of the ingredients well with a meat grinder, and serve the pounded meat separately. The second method is adding beans and meat to each person's bowl.

Tips on how to prepare the Abgousht

How to make Abgousht in a pressure cooker

To prepare broth in a pressure cooker, put the meat in the pressure cooker, peas, and beans. Then we divide the onions into 4 parts and put them in the pressure cooker and the water. Add the spices, close the pressure cooker's lid, and put it on the heat.

It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to cook the ingredients. After the meat, peas, and beans are well cooked, transfer the broth to the pot and add the tomatoes and potatoes. We also fry the tomato paste.

Then we add to the pot. Next, we pour the broth fat with the onions into a bowl and beat it well with a meat grinder until they are completely crushed, then pour it into the broth pot. After the potatoes are cooked, we serve the broth.

How to prepare the Abgousht with Omani lemon

They add Omani lemon in some places to make the broth taste slightly sour. Of course, you should be careful that the Omani lemon does not make the broth taste bitter. We can use two methods to prevent the broth from becoming bitter.

The first method is to use Omani lemon powder instead of Omani lemon, and the second is to put it in boiling water for a few minutes before adding Omani lemon to remove its bitterness. For better broth quality, it is recommended to use homemade Omani lemon.
