Fawwara
Also known as: Al-Fawwara, Kishk with Cowpeas
Deir ez-Zor kishk soup with locally named beans and garlic.
About Fawwara
Aisha al-Jassem describes Fawwara as a traditional winter dish specific to Deir ez-Zor. Her qualitative account names kishk, locally called awain beans and garlic as the components of the thick soup.
Garlic provides the explicitly named aromatic ingredient. The kishk remains a prepared component whose grain and dairy formula the article does not specify, so those flavour details are left open.
The source associates the bubbling, thickened soup with Friday family gatherings, often at the grandparents’ home. It presents Fawwara as a family ritual as well as a regional food.
