Salt the lamb and arrange it in a single layer in the pot.
Sear the meat for 7 minutes.
For the Malatya stew, add the onions and tomato paste and fry for 4 minutes.
Add the Malatya dried plums and hot water to the pot.
Cook the stew over low heat for 50 minutes so the meat does not stay tough.
💡 Tip: Adding the plums near the end helps them stay lively in the stew instead of falling apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the stew hot with rice pilaf and salad.
