Saudi saleeq

A quick and easy-to-make, a Saudi dish that won’t let you down.

Saleeq is a white-rice dish, cooked in broth. Some people say it resembles Italian risotto.

January this year is all about Saudi Dishes. Coincidentally, the Saudi Culinary Arts Commission announced regional dishes for all 13 provinces of Saudi Arabia, which inspired me to make this heartwarming dish.

Saleeq is incredibly straightforward to prepare, requiring no tedious chopping or grinding. With just two simple steps, you can effortlessly master this dish – first, create a flavorful broth by simmering chicken with aromatic whole spices, and then proceed to cook the rice in the richly infused stock. What’s more, there’s no need to worry about overcooking; Saleeq ensures foolproof perfection every time!
