Using Cinnamon

Cinnamon is one of the best spices for neutralizing the smell of lamb fat and animal fat in stews and saucy dishes. In dishes like Ghimeh stew, cinnamon not only eliminates the smell of the fat but also enhances its flavor.

However, for soups and other stews like Khoresht Gormeh Sabzi, adding cinnamon powder can change their taste. Therefore, it’s better to use cinnamon sticks, removing them after about half an hour to neutralize the smell of the animal or lamb fat.

If the smell of the fat is strong, you can place several cinnamon sticks in the oil and heat the oil in another container. Then, turn off the heat and let the oil cool down. Afterward, remove the cinnamon sticks from the oil.
