  • Wash the stomach of the lamb very well with the help of the cold water; making sure that you remove any debris very well
  • Once the water starts boiling, put the stomach into the water a few times; but make sure not to burn your hands; this step of boiling water will help you to firm up the stomach of the lamb and will facilitate the process of cutting
  • Now scrap the inner part of the stomach; make sure to remove the grey lining; then keep the dipping the scrapping until the stomach of the lamb becomes white
  • Now cut the stomach of the lamb into the size you desire.
  • With the help of a needle and a butcher twine, sew the stomach into the shape of a pouch.
  • For the filling:
  • Start by cutting the liver, and the lungs into small pieces; then finely chop the onion and the garlic
  • Chop the herbs fine
  • Place all of your ingredients in a large bowl, and mix all very well
  • Now, wear gloves and gently fill the pouches with the filling, make sure each pouch is filled very well
  • Carefully sew close all the pouches.
  • Now the Osban is ready for you to cook in a sauce; it is better to use a pressure cooker for that:
  • So to cook the sauce; sauté the garlic and the onion in the oil.
  • Add all the spices, the tomato paste, the chickpeas and the pouches.
  • Now add in enough quantity of water to cover the pouches.
  • Cover with a lid and cook until everything becomes tender for about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy your Osban
