QATARI HAREES (BEATEN WHEAT AND CHICKEN)
Qatari Harees is a delectable main dish made with beaten wheat and chicken. There are similar dishes all over the region that go by similar or different names. I made one very similar for Oman but it was made with beaten rice instead of wheat. It is a true comfort food and you should also make the Qatari khubz arabi for an authentic experience. You will use the bread to scoop up the Qatari harees with your hand.
As Qatar is one of the wealthiest nations on earth, you can truly get just about any cuisine in the world when visiting the capital city of Doha. However when I travel, I like to immerse myself in the culture and traditions of the nation. This Qatari harees is an authentic dish that is beloved and you can get a taste of Qatar without even leaving home. It is often eaten during the holy month of Ramadan. If you are visiting Qatar the best place to try it is in a souq which is like a mall with all sorts of different stalls of goods and food, unless of course you get invited into a local’s home for a meal.
Did you know that only 12 percent of the population are Qatari? The rest are foreigners brought in for work mainly in the oil and gas sectors as well as hospitality. If you would like to learn more about the tiny nation, be sure to check out “Our Journey to Qatar” . You will be able to also get more delicious recipes including the khubz arabi (Arabian Bread). Actually the national dish for Qatar is Machboos ( a spiced rice dish with meat) which I made for Bahrain which would also be a wonderful choice if making a Qatari meal.
This recipe calls for harees which is a whole wheat, you can find this at your Middle Eastern store or here on Amazon. Also you need to soak the wheat overnight so be sure to plan ahead when you want to make your Qatari harees.
