Kabsa

DIET:NON-VEG
SPICE:EXTREME
CATEGORY:SIGNATURE MAIN
TASTE:SAVORY

Kabsa in Riyadh is judged by the rice before the meat: long grains perfumed with black lime, cardamom, cinnamon, and slow rendered chicken stock. The best versions keep the chicken tender, the rice separate, and the tomato spice base measured rather than loud.
