Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat a cast-iron skillet with vegetable oil over high heat. Add the lamb and cook for about 5 minutes until the meat is browned on all sides.

Step 2

Season the lamb with saffron, salt, and pepper to taste. Chop half of the onion, add it to the lamb, mix everything, and add water. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the lamb is cooked. The lamb should be juicy and tender.

Step 3

Remove the lid, add the butter, and stir, letting the sauce thicken for 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the lamb on a serving dish. Chop the remaining half of the onion and parsley, sprinkle over the lamb. Cut the lemon into wedges and arrange around the meat.
