Kabsa — arroz especiado árabe con pollo
The great rice dish of the Arabian Peninsula and a Saudi national favourite: long-grain rice cooked in a fragrant, tomato-tinged chicken broth scented with the warm spice blend baharat — cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, black lime (loomi) and more — then crowned with golden chicken and toasted nuts. Kabsa is the centrepiece of Gulf hospitality, shared from a huge communal platter, with a tangy tomato-chilli sauce (daqqus) on the side.
