Maraq (Arabic: مرق) is a broth dish and originating in Yemen. The dish is common in Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Somalia, Bahrain, and the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. It can also be found in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, and Indonesia.[1]
Etymology
The word itself simply means "broth" in Arabic.
Preparation
An everyday, home cooked meal, the process of cooking maraq would usually begin by boiling some meat with some spices and the broth with sautéed onions, garlic, ginger, and vegetables. After the meat is tender and cooked, it is served on a bed of rice. The resulting maraq broth would be poured on top of the rice or served in a bowl on the side. It is also common to squeeze fresh lime into the maraq as it cools down for additional flavor. [2][3][4]
