📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Shaiyah is grilled meat made on Sudanese celebration days: small pieces of lamb are seared over high heat with onion, chili, and salt. On Eid al-Adha (the Feast of Sacrifice), it's made in nearly every home with the meat of the sheep slaughtered there. It's eaten with salad and bread.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On the Feast of Sacrifice in Sudan, lamb sizzles in a big iron pan in a family courtyard as relatives and neighbors gather.
