What it is
Hadhramaut's clay-oven glory: lamb or chicken rubbed with hawaij, slow-roasted sealed in a tannur over rice that drinks the meat's juices and smoke. Ingredients: lamb or chicken, hawaij spice (cumin, coriander, cardamom, turmeric), basmati rice, onions, carrots, potatoes, ghee, saffron or turmeric water, sahawiq. Recipe: 1) Marinate the meat in hawaij. 2) Hang or rack it in the clay oven above the rice pot. 3) Seal the oven; roast slow until the meat surrenders. 4) Rest the meat on the rice to serve. Serve: on a great platter with sahawiq and salad — the wedding dish of the Hadhramaut valley. Flavor: smoky, spiced, rice rich with drippings. History: mandi (from nada, 'dew', for the meat's tenderness) travelled from Hadhramaut across Arabia and to Southeast Asia with Hadhrami merchants. See also: Saltah, Bint al-Sahn.
