What is Hassawi Jareesh?
Jareesh is one of the oldest traditional dishes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, recently selected by the Culinary Arts Commission of the Ministry of Culture as the national dish of the Kingdom. Jareesh is made from durum wheat grains grown in Al-Hasa, coarsely ground (crushed) without pre-boiling. The dish's history dates back centuries, when women of the Arabian Peninsula hand-ground wheat using coarse mills.
The secret of Jareesh lies in its cracked grains that slowly absorb flavors during cooking, creating a rich and creamy porridge that varies in texture and taste depending on the preparation method. Known as the "Master of Dishes" in Saudi heritage, Jareesh brings families together around one table at happy occasions and celebrations.
