Qidreh khaliliyeh

Qidreh is associated with Hebron, known in Arabic as al-Khalil. Palestine’s tourism site describes chicken or lamb cooked with rice, garlic, broth and chickpeas in a brass pot. Its listed seasonings are turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon and allspice.[1]

The tourism account describes the ingredients cooking together in a wood-fired stove. The dish is served with plain yogurt, cucumber-and-yogurt salad or Arabic salad, and garnished with chopped parsley and sautéed almonds or pine nuts.[1]
