Bahraini Prawn Balls (Chebeh Rubyan)
Posted for FLAVOR of the Month – Tamarind in NA*ME forum. I can imagine this would be very good served with Recipe#443553 . From The Complete Middle East Cookbook, by Tess Mallos.
Bahraini Prawns / Shrimp in Tomato Sauce
Bahrainis love seafood & prawns are no exception – here is a typical way of cooking them in Bahrain. This dish is also nice with the addition of a little minced garlic.
Traditional Bahraini Muhammar – Sweet Rice Dish
This is one of the most famous Bahraini dishes. It is a sweet rice dish which is typically served with fish. I just wanted to add: this recipe calls for 6 cloves, HOWEVER, I think it REALLY ONLY NEEDS 2 cloves!
Traditional Bahraini Chicken Machboos / Machbous
Machboos is a dish of rice & meat, popular in many Gulf countries & across Saudi Arabia. Here is a version which is traditionally made in Bahrain. If you don’t have any Buharat / Baharat spice mix, there are a few here on Zaar to choose from. If you don’t want to use a whole chicken, your favourite pieces would be fine too!
Traditional Bahraini Cardamom Coffee
This is an authentic recipe for the traditional style of coffee that is drunk in Bahrain. The key to a great cup of coffee is the ground coffee – if you can get Gulf Coffee then do so. Gulf Coffee is light / medium roasted beans which are then ground with cardamom & saffron. If you can’t get Gulf Coffee then use a coffee which is as lightly roasted as possible & add a little extra cardamom & saffron to the coffee as you make it.
