A little insight to the wonderful Hijazi cuisine:

Other names in Arabic of Hijazi dishes:

سليق
معصوب
منتو
فرموزة

All that above was mostly only Madinah. Each region within Hijaz and nearly eact city within Hijaz has distinctive dishes. Hijazis like to eat food very much and enjoy it!

@Arabian Legend please contribute from the beautiful Al-Baha region of Hijaz and its excellent cuisine.



@Hadbani and @JUBA if you are both from Hijaz as well then please contribute.

@Mosamania is unfortunately gone but he could have covered the beautiful town of Ta'if.

@Bubblegum Crisis time to tell where you originate from in KSA.

@Tihamah is gone too otherwise we could have used him too.

You are very welcome @airmarshal . I am sorry that it is not in English!

Hijazi cuisine uses many species compared to other traditional Middle Eastern cuisines. A feature that the cuisine shares with the nearby Yemeni cuisine.

Just a quick question about arabian cuisine(maybe sounds dumb but seriously I always got curious about them)... Are dumplings like 'minto' (Idk if u have heard the name or not) or 'fol tameez' are considered as saudi cuisines? including 'mutabaq'...

Not sure what "minto" is but the traditional Hijazi dishes containing dumplings are similar to the dumplings of other Arab countries and Middle Eastern countries but the ingredients are often different. More species are used. Yes, there is a Hijazi version of the shakshouka.

Yes, Murtabak originates in Hijaz and Yemen. It is one of my favorite dishes.

Here is a Yemeni version of the Murtabak but the Hijazi is more or less identical:

Dear @Aeronaut could you change the title of this thread to "Discover the culture, traditions and cuisine of the blessed and beautiful Hijaz"?

Thank you.

To be continued tomorrow, Insha'Allah.
