Kabsa is a national dish within multiple Arab states such as Yemen, Qatar, Oman and UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The name Kabsa translates to ‘squeeze’. This alludes to its cooking technique, which involves squeezing all ingredients into one pot. The dish, also known as Makbus, consists of rice, meat, vegetables and spices.
Kabsa is typically prepared with long-grain rice like basmati rice, which is well known for its fragrance and delicacy. The large pot that everything is “squeezed” into allows for the flavours to meld together as the meat and rice cooks.
The traditional rice dish will often be served up on special occasions, such as a wedding, a family gathering or other celebrations. It holds cultural significance and is a symbol of hospitality and generosity. The presentation is often a focal point on any dining table, with the rice and meat arranged on a large serving platter and the meat placed on top.
