For Arab cuisine is typical of the special processing of meat without any fat, when the temperature of the pan is brought to 300 °, and meat coming into contact with its hot surface, coagulates and forms a crust that keeps the product of meat juice. With this method of meat dish is particularly tender and juicy. The other major way - first the meat is roasted on a hot, dry pan, then fried in a pan with oil. As a garnish Arabs often served fried or steamed vegetables, or steamed rice.
Most soups Arab cuisine prepared in a meat broth. The most popular among the Arabs of soups with beans and rice, peas and noodles, peas and potatoes, green beans, etc.
From Second dishes - meat stew and fried, chicken stewed in tomato sauce with vegetables, pilaf. A common meal in many Eastern nations is wheat or corn gruel.
