Jareesh
Crushed-wheat and rice porridge topped with spiced caramelized onions.
About Jareesh
Mandi Lynn presents this jareesh as a traditional Saudi dish from her kitchen in Riyadh. Crushed wheat and white rice cook together with onion and broth, with chicken broth selected from her alternatives.
Yogurt gives the porridge its creamy consistency, seasoned with cumin and salt. A separate onion topping combines ghee, ground coriander, dried lime and red chilli seasoning.
The finished wheat-and-rice mixture is transferred to a broad platter. Caramelized onions and their ghee are poured over the top, keeping the richly seasoned topping distinct from the soft porridge below.
