Saad Al Dulaijan is a consulting chef for Kuwaiti Edam Group Co who loves to cook traditional Khaleeji meals such as harees, jareesh and different types of majboos during Ramadan. “I wanted to share this red jareesh recipe with you all – jareesh and harees are both dishes that in the past family members would gather together to help to prepare as these meals are difficult for one person alone to make. Today however they are much easier and simply require lengthy simmering over a low heat.”
• 1 tbsp turmeric • 1 tbsp cumin • 1 tbsp coriander • 1 tbsp black pepper • 3 litres water • 1 tbsp black lemon powder • 2 green pepper pods • 1 kg jareesh (ground wheat grains), washed and soaked in water overnight FOR THE TOPPING • 1 onion, finely chopped and cooked • 1 tbsp black lemon powder • 1 tbsp black pepper • ghee, to garnish 1 Set a large saucepan with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and fry until cooked, then add the chicken and mix well. 2 Add the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock cubes and all the spices apart from the black lemon powder and green pepper pods and mix well. 3 Pour in a litre of water, then leave to simmer for 15 minutes. 4 Strain the jareesh and add to the pan. Stir well
then add the black lemon powder and green pepper pods. Mix gently. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Leave to cook for two hours, gradually adding the remaining water – the grains will absorb the all the liquid. 5 Remove the pan from the heat, discard the green pepper pods and blend the mixture, gradually adding the remaining vegetable oil and the ghee. 6 Mix the topping ingredients together. 7 Present the jareesh on serving plates and garnish with the topping.
