Tips

If you don't have a wire rack, just wrap the lamb tightly with tin foil first and add it to the tray.
The sahawuq should be chunky and not too smooth.
Make sure the rice is fragrant and can soak up rich, full-bodied broths.
Add a charcoal to the tray with a drizzle of ghee or oil and smoke it for about 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
