Harees dish: Know-How, Skills and Practices
Harees, a cherished traditional dish made from wheat grains, meat, and ghee, is frequently enjoyed for breakfast and dinner. It is customarily served on large plates, with several individuals gathering around to share, consuming the dish with their thumb and forefinger.
Particularly during Ramadan, banquets are often incomplete without Harees, serving as a gesture of honor towards guests and prevalent at various social functions. In the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, serving Harees is considered a hallmark of hospitality and generosity.
The practice of preparing and sharing Harees is informally passed down through generations, fostering social connections and reinforcing cultural ties among communities.
