As the holy month of Ramadan graces us with its presence, bringing along cherished moments of reflection, prayer, and togetherness, all of us are excited to share delicious meals with loved ones. Here are some easy Ramadan recipes to do this Ramadan and enjoy perfect Iftars with your family.
Saleeg is a popular and famous Saudi dish distinguished by its multiple nutritional benefits due to its milk content. You can prepare this dish by following the steps below.
- 2 cups short-grain rice
- 2 cups milk
- 1 whole chicken
- Butter
- Mastic gum
- Maggi powder
- 1 onion
- Cardamom pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Bay leaves
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 1 garlic clove
- Hot pepper
- Vegetable oil
- Lemon juice
- Salt
- Wash the chicken thoroughly and drain.
- Boil it with onion, spices, and chicken powder until fully cooked on the LG Smart Wi-Fi Enabled Electric Cooker, which allows you to control its functions using your smartphone through the LG ThinQ app.
- Once done, set the chicken aside and reserve the broth.
- Soak the rice for 30 minutes, then wash and drain it.
- Cook the rice in the chicken broth until done.
- Ensure a bit of broth is left for the rice to simmer in.
After the rice is nearly cooked with some broth remaining, add milk and continue to simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly.
- Melt some butter or ghee with mastic gum in a small pan.
- Add this to the rice mixture (Saleeg) and stir well.
Using your InstaView® Electric Oven, brown the chicken with a bit of butter for a crisp exterior; the convection "Grill" setting and LG Infrared Heating™ is perfect for this step, as it is the best convection microwave to evenly brown the chicken, enhancing its flavor and texture.
Blend the tomatoes, cucumber, garlic, hot pepper, a dash of vegetable oil, lemon juice, and salt to make a smooth sauce.
Serve the Saleeg in a wide dish, arrange the browned chicken on top, and garnish with some spiced butter droplets. Serve with Daqoos on the side for added flavor.
Qursan is a popular Najdi Saudi dish, prepared by making a dough from ground wheat flour. There is a difference between the Qursan of Riyadh and the Qursan of Al-Qassim; Riyadh's Qursan uses dry Qursan, while the people of Al-Qassim use the moist one.
● 3 and ½ cups of whole wheat flour
● Salt, to taste
● A pinch of turmeric
● Water, as needed
● 1 tablespoon yeast
● 1 tablespoon nigella seeds (black seed)
● 1 tablespoon mixed spices
● 1 teaspoon baking powder
● 1 finely chopped onion
● 2 diced tomatoes
● ¼ cup ghee (or butter)
1. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, yeast, half a tablespoon of mixed spices, baking powder, turmeric, nigella seeds, and a pinch of salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.
2. Gradually add water to the mixture, kneading by hand until you form a soft, cohesive dough.
3. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and set it aside for about 30 minutes to allow it to rise and double in size.
4. Once the dough has risen, place it in a microwave-safe baking dish lightly greased with oil.
5. Use the LG Convection Microwave Oven to bake; preheat it to 180°C (356°F) using the convection mode, then bake the flatbread until it is cooked through and golden brown, about 20-30 minutes, taking advantage of the LG Smart Inverter which provides even heat distribution for a perfectly baked texture.
6. While the bread is baking, prepare the topping in a pan over medium heat; melt the ghee and sauté the onion, tomatoes, the remaining mixed spices, and salt to taste until the mixture is fully cooked and aromatic.
7. Take the baked flatbread out of the LG Convection Microwave Oven and cut it into pieces, then top it with the onion and tomato mixture.
8. Press down gently with a knife or spatula to blend the toppings into the bread slightly.
9. Return the bread with its topping to the microwave on the grill function for a few minutes to crisp up the top, giving it a delightful texture contrast.
10. Serve hot and enjoy!
Note: Among other types of microwave ovens, the convectional microwave oven can bake bread without dring it since it can distribute the heat evenly.
