La-ham murraq / saloona ~ Meat StewServes 8
Like chicken and fish saloona this is very common throughout the UAE, indeed in some homes it is cooked twice a day. Because it can be accompanied by so many other things - rice, biryani or bread for example, it is a flexible dish. A daily cooked Ramadan dish, it is popular for sending into the Mosques during the holy month as it is filling and nutritious. It is also one of the most famous Bedouin dishes. Serve with dishes of sliced limes, dates, radishes, garlic chives, sliced white onion and buttermilk.
