jareesh

Jareesh is a Saudi dish made from cracked wheat cooked to a thick porridge. The grain is broken into coarse or fine pieces rather than ground into flour. In central Saudi Arabia, it is served as a main meal and as breakfast for wedding households on the morning of the celebration.[1]

Tabuk preparations include wheat cooked with laban and a little ghee. Other versions soak the wheat before cooking it with meat and laban, or add tomatoes. Ghee is commonly added, and the dish is prepared frequently during Ramadan.[1]
