Almaz Kishk Stew
Also known as: Almaz
Upper Egyptian stew of fermented wheat-and-dairy kishk in chicken stock.
About Almaz Kishk Stew
Almaz is an Upper Egyptian stew made with kishk Saedi and chicken stock. Nawaya documents kishk as dried nuggets of parboiled wheat and fermented buttermilk, part of the region’s food-preservation tradition.
Fermented dairy gives the kishk its sour character, while chicken stock contributes savoury depth. Tomato sauce is a serving addition in the presentation documented by the source.
Wheat thickens the blended broth into a substantial stew. The documented serving places it over dry bread with tomato sauce, while browned chicken is offered on the side.
