Best 4 Somali Chicken Suqaar Recipes

MA HALIMA'S BEEF SUQAAR

Steps:

• Warm oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and onion, and sprinkle with a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned in spots and onion is beginning to become tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add carrots and sprinkle cumin and turmeric over everything, along with another large pinch of salt. Stir in 1/4 cup water, cover, and cook until carrots are beginning to get tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper, cover again, and cook until carrots and pepper are just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
• Turn off heat, stir in lime juice, and season to taste. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container and rewarmed in a skillet set over low heat.

SUUGO SUQAAR AS MADE BY HAWA HASSAN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the xawaash spice mix: Place the cinnamon stick in a small zip-top bag. Seal the bag and use a heavy skillet or rolling pin to smash the cinnamon stick into smaller pieces.
• Transfer the cinnamon to a medium heavy-bottomed skillet and add the cumin, coriander, peppercorns, cardamom, cloves, and turmeric. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the spices are lightly toasted and very aromatic, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Once cooled, transfer the toasted spices to a clean spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind into a fine powder. Sift the ground spices through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium airtight container. Grind any large pieces left behind in the sieve, then sift into the container. Cover and store in a cool, dark place until ready to use, up to 6 months.
• Make the suugo suqaar: Heat the olive oil in a large, high-walled skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the garlic, bell pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 8 minutes. Add the beef, salt, and 3 tablespoons of the Xawaash spice mixture, and cook, stirring occasionally to break up the beef, until the meat is browned, about 15 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Fill the tomato can halfway with water and add to the pan. Stir well to combine, being sure to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Increase the heat to high and bring the sauce to a boil, then decrease the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, until the sauce is thickened and the beef is tender. Season with more salt to taste.
• Serve the sauce hot over spaghetti, garnished with cilantro. Serve with fresh banana. Any leftover sauce will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Rewarm in a heavy pot over low heat.
• Enjoy!
