Instructions

8 steps
  1. 1

    To make the Omani Shuwa tacos, preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Tip all the spices into a small ovenproof dish, mix well, then roast for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Transfer the spices to a blender and blend until you have a fine powder. Combine the spice mix with the vinegar, limes, sugar, salt, garlic and oil. Blend well until you have formed a paste.

  3. 3

    Make several slits in the meat with a sharp knife, then pour over the paste and rub it in very well.

  4. 4

    Chill for a minimum of 12 hours and up to 48 hours.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 140C/120C Fan/Gas 1. Wrap the meat very well in kitchen foil so there are no holes.

  6. 6

    Cook for approximately 5 hours. The meat should be falling off the bone and easy to shred.

  7. 7

    Meanwhile, to make the salsa, mix all the ingredients together, season and set aside.

  8. 8

    To serve heat the tortillas in a pan, or oven or microwave. Spread the pureed black beans onto the warm tortilla, then the shredded lamb, topped with the avocado, salsa, and fresh coriander.
