Easy Somali Rice Topping

www.xawaash.com

Somali rice with toppings evokes old memories of family gatherings, and festive occasions.  It reminds me particularly of ziyaras (rememberences) where large numbers of women gather to cook rice and meat in huge pots set on open fires.

I remember my grandparents’ house in Mogadishu, where a ziyara was held once a year to commemorate our great, great grandfather.  He was said to have been a pious person who was generous to the poor.  So on that day, the gates were open to everyone and the poor came there to be served by the family members.  I remember everyone sitting on mats on the floor, strangers and relatives, all eating from the same plate.

All the cooking was done in the huge yard that was half overtaken by bushes.  The women, who were preparing the food, were divided into teams, and duties were assigned for peeling the onions and garlic, cutting the potatoes and peppers, cooking the meat, and preparing the stock for the rice.  There was also a team that was in charge of the camel milk, a must have for ziyaras.

The yard was like a beehive with women scurrying around, cheerfully going about their assigned duties.  In the midst of all of this, we played with other kids and caused mischief.  Happy memories…

    Hii I love your recipes. I would love to ask about the peanut dessert. The one that you melt sugar and then add peanuts to. Mines comes out salty because I buy the salted peanuts and when I wash it it come out funny. Can you show me the one where you buy the nut in its shell and make it from scratch please.

      God willing, we will post a recipe for it. We buy the peanuts from Bulk Barn or Indian stores.

    Quite honestly guys, words fail me….I am having a hard time articulating how amazing you guys are. Frankly I don’t bother looking anywhere else for recipes since the fortunate day I found you. Truthfully speaking, I have been told that my cooking has dramatically improved yet I find myself gracefully accepting the compliment without reference to the well of knowledge I get from you because I want to stay the best among my friends (that’s a little selfish I know but I can’t help it).

    Since you are perfectly aware that I no longer trust any recipe source out there anymore and only have faith in you, if I may, I’d love to request a recipe for Scottish Shortbread biscuits….It goes without saying I will continue to watch this space and look forward to the next recipe!

    As always, thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me lots to look forward to. God bless you and may he give you as much joy in your life as you have given me.

    Your biggest fan,

    Sue

    May Allah give you khayr upon khayr for making this website! I am the daughter of a Somali man, but unfortunately did not grow up with him, nor Somali culture. This website is a great way to learn the cooking of my father’s people and showcase my culture to other people. I think you should compile a book if you have not already done so, I would surely purchase it insha Allah!!!
