Qidreh

(Kidra, Qidra)

Qidreh is a traditional dish hailing from Hebron. It consists of meat (usually lamb, sometimes chicken) that's cooked with chickpeas and rice in a broth that's spiced with ingredients such as cumin, allspice, cardamom, black pepper, and turmeric.


Other common ingredients include onions and garlic. The dish is typically cooked in a heavy copper or brass pot in a communal wood-fired oven. It's recommended to serve it with a yogurt sauce and a fresh tomato salad.
