Geema (Sudanese Stuffed Lamb)

Geema is a festive dish from Sudan, typically served during special occasions such as weddings or Eid celebrations. The dish consists of a whole lamb, deboned and meticulously stuffed with spiced rice. The lamb is then slow-roasted until tender and flavorful, resulting in a hearty main course that is a true celebration of Sudanese cuisine. The presentation is an integral part of the experience, with the whole lamb traditionally served on a large platter, surrounded by fresh vegetables and condiments. This dish is often the centerpiece of communal feasts, encouraging guests to share and enjoy the meal together.
