How to save on cooking time. Most of this cooking for this dish dump and forget, but if you're not a bit organized, it might take you longer than it need be. Once you started the rice and covered the pot, start cooking the kabsa sauce, hit your time for 20 minutes, and they'll both be done at the same time. Well, your rice is taking its final rest; transfer the kabsa sauce to a bowl and start your nuts.Dried limes are also used in marinades and dressings, adding a refreshing twist to grilled meats and salads. Additionally, they can be ground into a powder and sprinkled over dishes as a seasoning. Replace the ground limes with shredded lemon peel. The flavor will be different but will add a fresh zing to the dish. Herb-infused Kabsa: Top with chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, or mint to add a vibrant herbal note. Leave out the tomato paste and add a bit of lemon or lime juice for a less strong tomato flavor to the dish. In Saudi Arabia, this dish is called red Kabsa, when tomatoes are added, and white Kabsa, without tomatoes.

Al Kabsa is traditionally served with Shattah, a hot and spicy sauce made with garlic, chilies, herbs, spices, and tomato paste. But if you’re looking for one of the best comfort food recipes around the Arabian Peninsula, Saudi Arabia’s national dish has you covered. Kabsa Beef with Bones: I am using beef that has bones since it will add flavor and tenderize the meat when cooking in the pressure cooker. You can use either beef ribs or shank.One of the simplest ways to infuse the flavor of Kabsa spice mix in your Arabic dishes is to use it as a rub. Any tomato chutney will work well as an accompaniment to this dish. My personal favorite is the Indian Kasundi, a tomato chutney with added flavors of ginger and mustard. Simple Homemade Bulgarian Lutenitsa Spread containing tomatoes and red pepper will also be delicious served as a condiment with the Al Kabsa recipe. Lower Carb Kabsa: Replace the rice with cauliflower rice or broccoli rice, reduce the amount of tomatoes and skip the dried fruit. Basmati Rice– Although many Middle Eastern recipes use short grain rice, this recipe is an exception. Long grain basmati cooks up beautifully in an oven, with less chance of clumping like shorter grain rices often do. Kabsa spice mix is most commonly used in; you guessed it, Kabsa – a traditional Saudi Arabian dish made with rice, meat, and vegetables. But it can be used in a variety of other dishs as well, such as soups, stews, and marinades.

In this specific recipe, the rice is not pre-soaked, as this could lead to the end result being too mushy. Elevate your Kabsa experience by serving it with refreshing yogurt, a crunchy salad, or a steaming bowl of newly blended tomato sauce infused with a touch of green chilies. Not only does saffron add a stunning hue to your food, but it also offers numerous health benefits. It contains a compound called crocin, which has been shown to have antioxidant properties. Additionally, saffron may help improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Sweet and Smoky Paprika Hi, my name is Benazir I live in the United Kingdom.
