Arabic 30 Mins Prep · 60 Mins Cook
- To make the wheat porridge, soak the crushed wheat (or pearl barley) in 1L of water for 6 hours or overnight.
- Place the pre-soaked wheat in a large pot along with the rest of water and boil until the wheat is tender.
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large pot and add the meat. Season with the salt and cumin and fry until golden. Add the wheat along with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil before lowering the heat and cook for approx. 1 hour, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, place the leeks and 4 tbsp of olive oil in a small pot and place over a medium heat. Stir until the leeks are golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel.
- To make the cumin butter, heat the butter and cumin seeds together in a small pan, and cook until the butter begins to bubble and brown and the cumin seeds are toasted. Set aside.
- Strain the wheat and meat mixture and mix well until it forms a paste-like consistency. Add the rest of the olive oil and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the harees topped with the cumin butter and crispy leeks.
