Khabees is a traditional Arabian dish made from pounded wheat, meat, and yogurt. It is a popular dish in the Arabian Peninsula and is often served with rice. There are many variations of Khabees, but the basic ingredients remain the same. The meat used in Khabees can be lamb, beef, or chicken. The wheat is usually soaked overnight before it is pounded into a fine powder. The yogurt is typically made from sheep's or goat's milk, and it is added to the dish at the end of the cooking process.

This article provides recipes for three different versions of Khabees:

* **Khabees with Lamb:** This is the classic Khabees recipe, made with lamb, wheat, and yogurt.
* **Khabees with Chicken:** This is a lighter version of Khabees, made with chicken instead of lamb.
* **Khabees with Vegetables:** This is a vegetarian version of Khabees, made with vegetables instead of meat.

All three recipes are easy to follow and can be made in under an hour. They are also all delicious and nutritious, making them a great option for a weeknight meal.

KHABEESA (OMANI BREAKFAST ITEM)



Khabeesa (Omani Breakfast Item) image

I found this on the Desitwist website, and I wanted it to complete my A to Z collection of recipes (my Around the World Cookbook). Also known as Farina, Sameed, Cream of Wheat. Serving size is a guess. I definitely recommend a nonstick saucepan. This worked fine with fat free milk and "quick" farina. If you are not used to cardamon, you might want to reduce the amount.

Omani Khabeesa -- Farina or 'Cream of Wheat' image

When I discovered how few recipes representing Oman were on the site, I went searching. The NA/ME Forum will be spending January 2013 exploring the country & here is my culinary contribution. **2 of 3 people LOVED this! It took awhile for it all to come to a boil & from there I simmered 5 minutes. It thickened upon standing. Enjoy!**
