Breakfast Harees (Wheat & Meat Porridge)

Breakfast Harees is a traditional dish originally from the Hijaz region, made from coarsely ground wheat cooked with meat and a hint of salt until it reaches a creamy consistency. It has been a staple during Ramadan and pilgrimage, appreciating nutritious warmth to start spiritual fasting days.
Legend tells of pilgrims being served Harees in Mecca after long fasts — the easy-to-digest wheat-and-meat blend represented communal care. A local proverb says: “From the pot comes strength for the journey.” In Munch Classes, you’ll learn how to slow-cook grains and meat in harmony.
