Modified from The Complete Middle East Cookbook By Tess Mallos. This is a beautiful accompaniment to Recipe #372093.
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!
Bahraini Sweet Rice (Muhammar)
Wonderful, aromatic and flavourful! The best Muhammar I have made and I have tried a number! Very important to use a cast iron pan or heavy pan and lots of butter to form the crust part properly, this makes it way more flavourful as well. This is very good served with Gulf Arabian fish or shrimp dishes as it is traditional. Modified from a recipe found on http://desertcandy.blogspot.com. A great example this rice goes with is recipe#443922.
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!
Perfect No Fail Basmati Rice
This is my version on how to cook perfect rice….every grain will cooked to perfection…not one will stick together and you can make fried rice dishes right away with no problems!! Note: you will need a saucepan with clear glass lid…as there is to be no peeking! Can easily be doubled….cooking time a guesstimate.
