Wonderful photo!! Here's a recipe, should you be plagued by too many camels in you neighbourhood:
This is Grandma Nahbihah Dibs' Stuffed Camel.
1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
15 dozen eggs
12 kg. rice
4 kg. almonds, shelled
2 kg. pistachios, shelled
2 kg. pine nuts, shelled
Chopped garlic to taste
Chopped onion to taste
Oil to fry garlic and onions
Chopped celery to taste
Chopped carrots to taste
2 kg. each raisins, dried apricots, dried apples, prunes
Approx. 420 litres of water
dried mint to taste
black pepper to taste
red pepper to taste
salt to taste
Skin, clean and trim camel and lamb. Pluck and clean chickens.
Boil camel, lamb and chickens in separate pots in water seasoned
with salt, pepper, garlic, onions, celery and carrots until
tender. Hard boil eggs and shell them. In a large frying pan
put oil and fry nuts until brown, adding garlic and onions to
brown in last few minutes, stirring often so nothing burns. In a
pot put rice, nuts fried in oil with garlic and onions, 1/2 dried
fruit chopped, some chopped celery and chopped carrots, and
strained broth from chickens; then , cover and simmer until
fluffy, seasoning with pepper and mint. Stuff chickens with eggs
and rice. Stuff lamb with chickens and rice. Stuff camel with
lamb and rice. Season with salt, pepper and mint. Roast stuffed
camel in quick oven until well browned. Also roast extra chickens
until browned. Spread remaining rice on a large platter and
place the camel on top. Place the rest of chickens around camel
and decorate the rice with the rest of the dried fruit and hard
boiled eggs. Serves 100 hungry people. This would be a good
change from turkey at holiday time.
