🇾🇪Yemeni food
Yemeni cuisine is known for slow-cooked meats, flatbreads and spiced stews, seasoned with the hawaij spice blend and served with zhug, a green chilli sauce. Saltah, a meat stew topped with fenugreek froth, and mandi, rice with slow-cooked meat, are signature dishes.

💡Tip
Meals are often shared with plenty of bread or rice, which makes up much of the calories, and sweet dishes such as bint al-sahn, served with honey and ghee, are especially rich.
