Shuwa

In real, Omani people typically cook the meat on Eid's first day and consume it on the second or third day. The Shuwa is wrapped in banana or palm leaves and roasted in an underground sand oven for one to two days after being marinated in Omani spices. Although this method may appear unusual, Shuwa beef is one of the best foods available.
