Haneeth

Haneeth is a delectable traditional dish originating from Yemen that has gained popularity across the Arabian Peninsula. Interestingly, although it is cherished in many cultures, it is not actually mentioned in the Quran, contrary to some beliefs.

The key to Haneeth's distinctive flavor lies in its unique cooking method. The meat is slow-cooked in a tannur, a special type of oven. In this oven, coals, Leptadenia pyrotechnica (a species of desert plant), and palm fronds are burned, infusing the meat with a distinctively rich and aromatic taste.

To enhance its flavor even further, a spice blend known as Hawaij is typically added to the meat during preparation. The combination of these spices and the traditional cooking technique makes Haneeth an unforgettable culinary experience.
