About Gabout
Gabout is a Bahraini dish of filled dumplings in a savoury stew. Ukht Mubarak's chicken rendition has whole-wheat parcels enclosing onion, garlic, coriander and dried-lime seasoning.
Tomato, onion and garlic give the chicken broth its aromatic base. Bazar, black pepper, turmeric, cumin and ground coriander supply the stew's spiced character.
The dumplings have soft, filled centres within their wheat dough. Chicken pieces share the serving dish with the parcels and their tomato-based broth, bringing the meat and dough together in one preparation.
