10) It should be placed in the oven soon and the temperature must be reduced to 320 Degree Fahrenheit.
11) It should be cooked for 5 to 6 hours often basting with the juices. (You can stop cooking when the lamb can be pulled apart with a fork)
12) The pomegranate seeds must be mixed with the mint and garlic must be added to the yogurt.
13) The lamb has to be shredded at the table and it can be served with the salad, couscous or flat-breads, mint, pomegranate and yogurt.
