Description
Mughat, or مضغوط, is a traditional Middle Eastern dish celebrated for its rich, hearty flavors and unique preparation method. This flavorful dish typically features meat (such as lamb, chicken, or beef) slow-cooked with aromatic spices, including cumin, coriander, and turmeric, along with long-grain rice. The meat and rice are simmered together in a single pot, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully and the rice to absorb the savory essence of the meat.
The dish is often garnished with fried onions, nuts, and raisins, adding a delightful crunch and a touch of sweetness to balance the savory spices. Mughat is perfect for family gatherings and festive occasions, offering a comforting and satisfying meal that captures the essence of Middle Eastern culinary traditions.
