Home›Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes›Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced DishesGroupMiddle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced DishesGathers the stews, braises and sauced dishes of Middle Eastern and North African culinary traditions, including Moroccan tagine, Levantine maqluba, and Persian khoresh fruit-and-herb stews, built on the region's slow-cooked spice, fruit and meat combinations. The grouping reflects the region's own slow, moist-heat cooking tradition rather than the specific meat or vegetable braised in it, since the same sauce base often carries several different dishes.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonPrimary Cooking MethodWell-attestedsolid ingredients simmered slowly in liquid 1Browse ByAll Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced DishesMiddle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes30 entriesMiddle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced DishesFilter Results30 entriesCuisineAllAfghan Cuisine (2)Algerian Cuisine (4)Armenian Cuisine (2)Egyptian Cuisine (3)Georgian Cuisine (5)Greek Cuisine (2)Israeli Cuisine (1)Italian Cuisine (1)Lebanese Cuisine (1)Middle Eastern Cuisine (3)Moroccan Cuisine (3)North African Cuisine (3)Persian Cuisine (4)Spanish Cuisine (1)Swedish Cuisine (1)Syrian Cuisine (2)Tunisian Cuisine (3)Turkish Cuisine (6)Yemeni Cuisine (1)CourseAllAppetizer (3)Condiment or Dip (2)Dessert (1)Main Course (20)Side Dish (1)Snack or Street Food (1)Soup (2)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Dairy or Egg (6)Contains Fish or Shellfish (1)Contains Meat or Poultry (22)Vegan (5)Vegetarian (3)Main IngredientAllAlmond (3)Beef (3)Bulgur (1)Butter (1)Cabbage (1)Celery (1)Cherry (1)Chicken (3)Chickpea (3)Chili Pepper (1)Cinnamon (2)Common Bean (2)Egg (1)Eggplant (2)Fava Bean (1)Fenugreek (1)Fish (1)Garlic (8)Ground Meat (1)Honey (1)Lamb (10)Lemon (1)Liver (1)Olive Oil (3)Onion (6)Parsley (1)Pomegranate (1)Potato (2)Ras el Hanout (1)Rice (4)Saffron (2)Spice (1)Sugar (2)Tomato (7)Turmeric (2)Veal (1)Vermicelli (1)Walnut (1)Yogurt (3)Dish FamilyAllMiddle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (30)Format/TypeAllMiddle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (30)Origin RegionAllAleppo (1)Algeria (2)Algiers (1)Cyprus (1)Egypt (2)Georgia (3)Greece (1)Ifriqiya (1)Iran (4)Isfahan (1)Jordan (2)Lebanon (1)Libya (1)Morocco (2)North Africa (1)Ottoman Empire (1)Tunisia (2)Turkey (4)Yemen (1)Era (Origin Period)All-500 (1)224 (1)300 (1)1400 (2)1500 (2)1940 (1)TraditionAllChristmas Feast Traditions (2)Fermentation (1)Mezze (2)New Year Feast Traditions (1)Passover and Jewish Holiday Foods (5)Ramadan and Eid Feasting Traditions (5)Wedding Feast Traditions (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 30AbgooshtStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes8 linksBalilaStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes6 linksChanakhiStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes4 linksChashushuliStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes5 linksCherry kebabStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes3 linksChraimeStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes4 linksÇılbırStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes4 linksDolmaStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes12 linksFesenjanStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes6 linksFul MedamesStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes3 linksGhormeh SabziStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes3 linksHünkârbeğendiStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes4 linksKarnıyarıkStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes6 linksKhoresh karafsStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes4 linksKhoresht mastStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes5 linksKuru fasulyeStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes5 linksMansafStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes4 linksMrouziaStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes7 linksQalayet bandoraStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes4 linksSaltahStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes5 linksSarmaStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes8 linksShakriyehStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes8 linksShakshoukaStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes14 linksShakshukaStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes2 linksShkmeruliStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes3 linksTagineStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes3 linksTajine Lham-LahlouStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes10 linksTajine mtewemStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes7 linksTfayaStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes2 linksUsbanStews, Braises and Sauced Dishes3 linksSources1.
