Arabic cuisine. The cuisine of the peoples of the Arab countries has many common features, from the range of products to the methods of their preparation. Lamb, goat meat, poultry, legumes, rice, vegetables, nuts and fruits are widely represented in the diet of the population of these countries. A significant place is taken by dishes from eggs and fish. Fermented milk products are popular, especially cheeses that resemble feta cheese. A distinctive feature of Arab cuisine is the wide use of various spices and seasonings: onions, garlic, olives, cinnamon, black and red peppers, aromatic herbs. Olive oil is used for cooking. However, many meat dishes are made without fat. This heats the pan to 300 ° C.

The meat protein, in contact with the hot surface of the frying pan, curls up and forms a crust that holds the meat juice in the product. The meat prepared in this way is tender and juicy.

Arabs prefer two meals a day: a very hearty breakfast and a hearty lunch before or after sunset.

From the first courses, soups with beans and rice, peas and noodles, peas and potatoes, green beans, capers, etc. are common.

Stews and fried meat, chickens stewed in tomato sauce, pilaf are often used for second courses.

Many Arab peoples love wheat or corn porridge - burgul. On special occasions, it is laid out in the form of a pyramid and filled with fat or covered with small pieces of meat.

All kinds of fruits are widespread among the people of Saudi Arabia, especially dates. They make a paste that can be stored for a long time. The main drink is coffee. It is drunk without sugar, but with the addition of cloves and cardamom. The finished drink is served in cups in order of seniority. Coffee of honor is served three times, after which traditional etiquette demands to thank and refuse.

The Yemeni diet is characterized by the use of a hot sauce of red pepper, mustard and aromatic herbs, which is called helba. A popular dish of young lamb stuffed with rice, raisins, almonds and spices.

Preference is given to gshir - a decoction of coffee husks, which tastes like coffee, mixed with tea.
