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!
Everyone whose ever heard about the Bahamas thinks about conch. We were once called the conch isles. However, it is little known fact that conch is the most perennial dish, not the the national dish! The most important part of the national dish of the Bahamas. Eaten almost everyday with Steamed Nassau Grouper,coleslaw and fried plaintain especially between the months of June and August. This recipe will prove challenging for those unfamiliar with how to prepare the land crabs…. but it tastes like manna … intensely delectable experience for your tastebuds!
Recipe from the Intourist Hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan. Found in my grandmother’s old recipe box. Dates from the ’60’s.
Having tried “dolma” from several countries I like these the best. Traditionally these are very small, quarter sized. The big leaves you can get in jars in the U.S. can be halved to make nice little ones. But nothing beats the dolma from fresh tender leaves.
Known as gröstl, this is a real hunger-stopper from the Austrian Tyrol and is a wonderful last-minute meal. From BBC Good Food Magazine for ZWT6.
