Brisket

Camel brisket is the thick breast plate of a dromedary or Bactrian—collagen-heavy and leaner than grain-fed beef brisket, with a distinctive slightly sweet, gamey-clean flavour. Young camel (hwar) brisket is more tender; mature animals need patience and moisture or they dry before the fibres relax. Braise with spices, dates, or tomato, or smoke carefully with a water pan. Cook until probe-tender, rest, and slice across the grain. The cut rewards low heat and aromatic liquids more than high-heat searing alone.
