Iftar (ending the fast) and suhoor, the meal before Fajar (morning) prayers, are important components of fasting. They are the two main meals in Ramadan.
One of the staple dishes in the UAE during Ramadan, especially for Emiratis and Arab families, is Harees - a porridge-like dish made of wheat, meat or chicken and butter.
Harees is a popular dish on meals for many families because besides restoring one's energy, it is simple, delicious and easy on the stomach after a long day of fasting.
Harees can be served either alone as a main dish or as a side dish with all the other goodies during Ramadan. It's also shared among neighbours.
Harees can be kept nicely in an aluminium container if it is prepared in abundance, put in a fridge and then heat it up in the oven.
The Harees grain is wheat berries in English and can be made with lamb, meat or chicken. Also, one can add as much or as little chicken or lamb as he/she wishes. For the 2 cups of harees, 1kg of meat is usually used, but the more meat you use, richer the dish.
Other common food during Ramadan is Samosa, a triangle shaped pastry and savory snack that can be filled with meat, chicken, cheese and vegetables. Also Machboos, a traditional rice dish similar to Biryani is also popular among countries in the GCC. One can use chicken, meat, fish or shrimp along with vegetables and long-grain rice, mixed with the right spices to complete this dish.
