About Kabsa

Kabsa is a flavorful and aromatic rice dish that originates from the Arabian Peninsula, particularly Saudi Arabia, where it is a beloved traditional meal. This dish typically features long-grain basmati rice cooked with a blend of warming spices such as cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and black lime. It is commonly paired with tender meat like chicken, lamb, or seafood, along with vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, and onions. Garnishes like toasted nuts and raisins add texture and sweetness. Kabsa is nutrient-rich, offering a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals from the meat, vegetables, and spices. However, its nutritional profile may vary depending on preparation methods, as certain recipes use added fats or high-calorie accompaniments. To keep it healthier, opt for lean cuts of meat and moderate use of oil. This festive dish is both a cultural staple and a satisfying, hearty meal.
