A Jute Sack For Binding The Meat

The jute sack is spread flat and layered with herbs like rosemary, lemon grass, tarragon, etc. In some regions of Oman, fresh banana leaves are used instead of the herb. The layer of herbs or banana leaves locks-in and enhances the flavour of the seasoned meat.

After the meat is coated with the spice rub, it is once more layered with herbs or banana leaves. The seasoned meat block is totally wrapped in jute sack which later on is stitched and reinforced with firming twine to congeal completely.

The Pit Oven The oven utilize for roasting Shuwa is nothing more than an open pit dug directly in the ground. The pit varies in sizes depending on the heap of meat blocks to contain. The lining of the oven pit is constructed either with refractory bricks (fire bricks) or steel encasement to totally enclose the heat. A plate shield made from solid material like iron or steel is fabricated into a cover to completely close and seal-off any opening of the pit.

The charcoal produced from a species of Sumra tree collected from the outlying desert wilderness serve the best mean of bonfire. It is believed that these desiccated driftwoods scorched under the blistering desert temperature similarly improves the meat aroma, burns rigorously and lasts longer than ordinary firewood.

Once the driftwood is transformed into glowing charcoal, the meat block is pitched into the pit. The jute sack or palm leave baskets will not burn because a layer of mesh screen at the bottom of the pit prevents the glowing briskets from getting in contact with any surface of the meat blocks. Though slight scorching will occur especially during initial arrangement of the meat blocks; no unrestrained burning will take place. The oven pit is sealed with a metal cover. A large canvass fashioned from entwined jute sacks is spread across the oven pit cover.

Soil set evenly, plump and firm is spread on top of the oven pit creating a fiery mound. The principle of setting the oven pit with plump mound of soil is to create a total vacuum generating pressure and heat that is even all throughout, not fiery since oxygen is depleted thus preventing over-cooking and uncontrolled smouldering.

Roasting Period Shuwa is allowed to roast in a slow phase. The cooking time varies from six (6) to forty eight (48) hours depending on meat variety. Lamb and goat meat takes shorter cooking time compared to beef and camel meat. The slow roasting process infuses flavour absorption of the seasoning with the meat. The meat is tendered and does not dehydrate. There is no scorching nor under cooking. The flavour is locked in every grain and the aroma sets a more alluring and mouth-watering craving.

Unearthing the Treasure After the lapse period and roasting time, the oven pit is finally unearthed. An enthralling aroma of freshly baked Shuwa greets every individuals olfactory sense. The meat blocks are hoisted up the oven pit and allowed to simmer. The proud owner of the unearth cache leisurely cut-off the firming twines and slashes the jute sack and basket stitching. The layer of herbs and banana leaves binding which had apparently withered after locking in the flavours and aroma by liberally blending the seasoning with every strand and grain of the meat are meticulously separated.

hfi l j b q b o = NK M = J= q^ _i b= VW = q = ` ~= p ~= = l ~ Shuwa is best taken either with Arabic bread called Khubz or along with long-grained steamed white rice; I prefer rice prepared the Mandi or Bukhari way. Salata or vegetable salad made up of daintily-cut cucumber, onion, carrot, tomato and lettuce will cordially supplement the dish. A velvety serving of fresh Laban or yoghurt will definitely complete and compliment the opulent meal.
Facts about Shuwa Shuwa is a meat dish prepared during very special holidays, family gatherings and other wellknown celebrated occasions in the Sultanate of Oman. The celebrated Shuwa of Oman is a cultural and national treasure worth preserving and honouring. It is a heritage worth conserving and maintaining. It is very unique in every aspect of contemplation. You might have noticed and wonder why in some photographs, Shuwa meat blocks are bearing empty soda cans and in one instance, a vehicle plate number?

They do not in anyway contribute to enhance the flavour of the dish. They are just simply attached to the meat blocks for the simple purpose of identifying the owner. Pretty cool!
Acknowledgement I would like to express my sincere thank to my distinguished colleague from Oman, Hilal for entrusting me the privilage to feature this interesting topic in my blog site. It was indeed an honour. My admiration goes as well for his patience during my unrelentless inquiries. I hope I have presented the subject precisely or somehow substantiated the facts with veracity. Respectively, I pay tribute to all the extraordinary gentlemen published in the photos. This presentation illustrates only how genuine communal cooperation among the neighbourhood exists in Oman. I look forward to your admiration or commentary if you have some and wish in your next groundwork, some of you might want to invite me for another series of an up-close and personal dissertation of the celebrated Shuwa.
