What it is
The Emirati celebration rice: meat or chicken with rice cooked in a spiced broth of baharat, dried lime and tomato — the UAE's Friday and wedding platter. (The Gulf-wide machboos family; the Emirati hand is recognised by its bezar spice and ghee finish.) Ingredients: chicken, lamb or fish, basmati rice, onions, tomatoes, dried lime, bezar (Emirati baharat), cardamom, cinnamon, ghee, raisins, cashews. Recipe: 1) Brown the meat with onions and bezar. 2) Build the broth; cook the meat; crisp it to finish. 3) Cook rice in the broth. 4) Crown with meat, nuts and raisins; drizzle ghee. Serve: on a communal platter with salad and laban. Flavor: warm spice, lime tang, ghee richness. History: machboos came with the Gulf's pearl-and-spice trade; each Emirati home keeps its bezar blend.
