Bukhari Rice

Bukhari Rice: A Fragrant and Aromatic Delight

Bukhari Rice is a quintessential Middle Eastern Dish that captures the heart of traditional cooking with its rich aroma and comforting flavours. Fluffy, long-grain rice is gently cooked with warm spices like cinnamon, cumin, and cloves, creating a subtly sweet, perfectly spiced, and irresistibly fragrant dish. A staple of Middle Eastern feasts, it perfectly accompanies grilled meats, stews, or mezze platters.

What’s in Bukhari Rice?

The magic of Bukhari Rice comes from its simple yet carefully balanced ingredients:

• Long-Grain Rice: Fluffy and light, with separate and tender grains.
• Cinnamon: Adds warmth and a hint of sweetness.
• Cumin: Provides a deep, earthy aroma.
• Cloves: Lends a slightly sweet and spicy note for depth.

This harmonious blend of spices infuses the rice with a rich flavour that complements any main dish.

Why Bukhari Rice Stands Out

• Rich, Fragrant Flavor: Infused with aromatic spices for a warm and comforting taste.
• Perfectly Fluffy Texture: Cooked to perfection, each grain is light and separate.
• Authentic Middle Eastern Experience: A traditional dish that embodies the region’s flavours.
• Versatile Pairing: Ideal with grilled meats, hearty stews, or as part of a mezze spread.

How We Prepare Bukhari Rice

1. Sauté the Spices: Cinnamon, cumin, and cloves are lightly toasted to release their fragrance.
2. Cooked to Perfection: Long-grain rice is added and simmered until tender, absorbing the warm, spiced broth.
3. Fluff and Serve: The rice is gently fluffed to ensure every grain is infused with flavour and perfectly textured.

Perfect Pairings: What to Enjoy with Bukhari Rice

• Grilled Meats: The warm spices of the rice enhance the smoky flavours of lamb, chicken, or kebabs.
• Shawarma or Kofta: A classic pairing that combines the meats’ richness with the rice’s subtle sweetness.
• Stews: Perfect alongside hearty dishes, soaking up the flavourful juices for a complete meal.
• Mezze Platters: Complements dips like hoummos and baba ghanoush, adding depth to the spread.
