How to Make a Delicious Traditional Harees
Description
Harees is a traditional dish made by simmering wheat and meat until it is creamy. The mixture is slow-cooked, blended and served warm, often with ghee.
Ingredients
Optional (for serving):
Instructions
-
SOAK THE WHEAT
Rinse the whole wheat thoroughly under cold water to remove any dust or debris. Place it in a large bowl and cover with enough water to submerge the grains completely. Let it soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Tip: Soaking softens the wheat, reducing cooking time and making it easier to blend later.
-
COOK THE MEAT
Add the meat (such as lamb or chicken) and enough water to cover it completely in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming off any foam on the surface. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until the meat is tender.
Tip: Adding a pinch of salt at the beginning helps bring out the meat’s natural flavor.
-
ADD THE WHEAT
Drain the soaked wheat and add it to the pot with the cooked meat. Stir gently and add more water if needed to keep everything submerged. Simmer on low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking.
Tip: Stirring frequently helps break down the wheat and meat into a smoother consistency.
-
BLEND TO A CREAMY TEXTURE
Once the wheat and meat have softened completely, use a hand blender or a wooden spoon to mash the mixture until it reaches a thick, porridge-like consistency. Continue stirring for another 10–15 minutes to ensure an even texture.
Tip: If the mixture is too thick, add a little hot water gradually until the desired consistency is achieved.
-
SEASON AND SERVE
Taste the harees and add salt if needed. Serve warm, topped with melted ghee or butter for extra richness.
Tip: For a more traditional presentation, drizzle a generous amount of ghee over the top just before serving.
