Thareed Laham
Thareed Laham is a traditional Emirati stew made with tender meat (often lamb or chicken), a medley of vegetables, and a rich, spiced tomato-based broth. It is traditionally served over layers of crispy Emirati flatbread (regag), which soaks up the flavorful liquid, creating a comforting and hearty dish. This dish is particularly popular during Ramadan and special occasions, symbolizing hospitality and family gatherings.

👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Heat ghee or oil in a large pot or pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
- 2
Add ginger garlic paste and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook until the tomatoes soften and become mushy.
- 4
Add the Bezar spice mix, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, crushed dried lime (loomi), and salt. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- 5
Add the meat pieces and mix well to coat them with the spices. If using a pressure cooker, add about 1 cup of water, close the lid, and pressure cook for 3-5 whistles until the meat is almost tender. If using a regular pot, add enough boiling water to cover the meat, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Once the meat is tender, add the cubed potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and pumpkin/squash to the pot. Add more boiling water if needed to ensure the vegetables are submerged.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Add vegetables based on their cooking time; harder vegetables like carrots first, then softer ones like zucchini. - 7
Cover and cook for another 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still hold their shape. Check the salt and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Tear the regag bread (or other flatbread) into large pieces and arrange them in a wide serving dish. Ladle the hot stew over the bread, allowing it to soak up the broth. Top with the tender meat and vegetables.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Serve immediately while the bread is still slightly crisp and the stew is hot. - 9
Garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves before serving.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste
- ✓For a richer flavor, use meat with bones.
- ✓Adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
- ✓If regag bread is unavailable, other thin flatbreads like saj or even khubz can be used, though the texture will differ.
- ✓Ensure the vegetables are cut into substantial chunks so they don't disintegrate during the long cooking process.
