The originality of Arab cuisine is shown in all occasions, holidays and celebrations,

Where the dining table shines best to indicate the generosity of this kitchen.

 

Date :

 

In fact, Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula were previously heavily dependent on an excellent diet consisting of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, as well as a high dependence on yoghurt products, such as yoghurt. Like any other Semitic people from the Arabian Peninsula who toured the Arab world, this led to the allocation and dissemination of the Arab taste, while affecting the components of the country they went to.

 

There is a strong focus on the following items

 In Arabic Cuisine:

 

Meat: Lamb and chicken are the most commonly used, beef and camels are also used to a lesser extent, poultry are used

In some areas to a lesser extent, and coastal populations use higher fish.

Pork is not eaten in general by Muslim Arabs because it is forbidden in Islamic law.

 

Dairy products :

Dairy and its products are widely used, mostly yogurt and white cheese, however, butter, eggs and cream are also widely used. Dairy is also consumed directly as a drink

Gulf states, Iran and Turkey. Iranian and Turkish milk is distinguished from the Gulf by adding

 Salt to it.

 

Herbs and spices:

 Mint and thyme are widely used, and their use today is almost universal; spices are used much less in Indian cuisine, but quantity and variety vary from region to region.

Some herbs and spices include sesame, saffron, turmeric, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and sumac.

 

Drinks: Hot drinks are used more than cold, coffee is ranked first on the menu, others prefer tea (specifically Sri Lanka tea).

 

Cereals: Rice is used in most dishes with wheat. It is the main source of bread as well as bulgur and semolina and are widely used.

 

Beans: Lentil is widely used as well as beans, peas and chickpeas.

 

vegetables and fruits :

This kitchen also favors vegetables such as cucumber, eggplant, couscous, okra and onions

Pumpkin, potatoes and tomatoes.

 

As for the fruit (citrus in the first place) it is often used as an appetizer before eating.

Olive is a large part of the Arab cuisine in addition to dates, figs and pomegranates.

 

Nuts: Include in most uses pine nuts, pistachio nuts, nuts and walnuts.

 

Green Plants:

 Parsley and mint are spices for many dishes, while spinach and mallow are cooked as a separate main dish.

Note that many of the spices used in Arabic cuisine are also used in Indian cuisine, due to previous business transactions between India And the Gulf States.
