Seleq

Rice cooked in milk for very long, until it is a soft cream, is a speciality of Saudi Arabia. It serves as a bed for lamb, often a whole animal, presented on a tray with melted clarified butter trickled on top. It is known that in the city of Taif they make it better than in Jedda or Medina.

Here is a popular Saudi Arabian speciality which is similar to a medieval al-Baghdadi dish.

This makes rather a large quantity suitable for a party. Reduce it by half to serve 6 people.<
