Fah-fah is traditionally prepared by simmering meat together with vegetables in water to create a rich soup. The meat and vegetables are placed in a cooking pot, covered with water, and cooked over moderate heat. Garlic and coriander are generally added during the cooking process, and additional water may be incorporated as needed. The soup is simmered until the meat becomes tender and the vegetables are fully cooked. ¹
