Mensaf is another well-known dish which is often prepared on holidays. It is made of lamb, which should be boiled in sour cream, and then served on a table with braised rice. Mensaf will be surely liked by fans of meat dishes. Due to such an unusual method of cooking the lamb becomes surprisingly soft. The dish named Adas is no less popular. The taste of Adas is somewhat like a traditional risotto, but yellow lentils are usually used instead of rice. The lentils are usually braised together with chicken meat. In order to make the dish more spicy, the locals add a little of lemon juice. The people of Amman eat this dish literally every day.
The restaurants of the local cuisine will surely offer their guests to try the dish named maklube. This is a hearty casserole with lamb (or chicken), potatoes, rice and eggplants. The meat is fried with eggplants and potatoes in a large frying pan, then rice is poured on top and the casserole is stewed on small heat.
