👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Put the meat in the pot with the onion, olive oil, cumin, salt and black pepper, add 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour, until the meat is tender.
    ⚙ SimmeringStovePotLid
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, mix the yogurt, gluten-free flour blend and egg in another pot and heat over low heat, stirring.
    StovePot
    💡The gluten-free flour blend and egg stabilize the yogurt: without them it splits into curds as it heats. Stir constantly and never bring it to a hard boil.
  3. 3
    Strain the meat's cooking liquid into the yogurt sauce and cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
