Bariis Iskukaris

What we know so far

Bariis iskukaris, "rice cooked all together", is the Somali one-pot rice: meat (goat, lamb or chicken) browned with onion, garlic and whole cinnamon, cardamom and cloves, simmered with tomato and the Somali spice blend xawaash, and the rice cooked in that broth so every grain is coloured and seasoned. It is the dish of Somali weddings and Eid, served heaped on a platter with a sweet-savoury topping of fried onion, raisins and pepper, and a banana on the side. Djibouti's skoudehkaris is the same dish under its Djiboutian name.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
