After chatting with professor Nawal Nasrallah about Ramadan in Iraq where we explored the cultural traditions of Ramadan over there (on this link) and the Iraqi foods of Ramadan to include the pantry and the menus (on this link), it was only fair to delight your taste buds with some of the foods mentioned in those posts. So we are sharing with you this recipe from her book ‘Delights from The Garden of Eden‘ which professor Nawal has very generously agreed to shared with us here.
She said: “For a recipe to share with you, I choose ‘Chicken with Red Rice’, a nourishing and delicious dish. It is very convenient to cook as the stew sauce comes as a by-product of the dish itself, as you will see. It is very cooling in the summer, especially when served with yogurt.”
This is how it’s made…
