Name: Harees
Total time: 4 h
Yield: 6

Cracked wheat and lamb boiled together for hours and then beaten with a wooden spoon until the grain and the meat stop being two things — Ramadan food, plain and enormously filling.

الوصفة من Saudi home kitchens · 🏺 تقليدي · One big platter set on the floor for everyone to eat from — rice, a whole joint of lamb, and a cuisine built around feeding whoever arrives.

Arabian · Ramadan dish — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms the boiled, cracked wheat and meat construction and lists the many regional names for it. It is eaten across the Gulf and beyond rather than in Saudi Arabia alone, and that is said rather than glossed over. Quantities and the beating instruction are this book's own.

الخطوات

Soak the cracked wheat overnight in cold water. Drain it.
Put the wheat, meat, water, cinnamon stick, cardamom and salt in a heavy pot and bring to the boil. Skim the foam.
Simmer covered for 2 hours 30 minutes, stirring the bottom every 20 minutes.
Fish out the bones, the cinnamon stick and the cardamom pods. Every bone, checked twice.
Beat the pot hard with a wooden spoon or a masher for 10 minutes, until the wheat breaks down and the meat shreds into it.
💡 Beating, not stirring. Harees is defined by the texture — smooth, stretchy, one substance. Ten minutes of arm work is the recipe.
Spread it on a platter, make a hollow in the middle and pour in the melted ghee. Dust with cinnamon and put sugar on the table.

💡 نصائح

Harees is Ramadan food across the Gulf, made in huge quantities and given away as much as eaten at home.
Sweet or savoury is a household argument. Some pour sugar on it, some only ghee and cinnamon. Put both out and let people choose.
A pressure cooker does the first stage in 45 minutes, but the beating still has to be done by hand afterwards.
