Kabab Halla

Kabab Halla, meaning kabab in a pot, is a classic Egyptian braised meat dish where chunks of beef are simmered low and slow in a rich caramelized onion sauce until they are meltingly tender. Unlike grilled kabab, this is a pot-based dish, and the deeply sweet, silky onion sauce is the star. The onions break down completely during the long braise, creating a thick, glossy sauce that coats every piece of meat.
