This dish is made with whatever you have at home. It generally includes spicy meat along with vegetables and lots of tomatoes all combined into a soup-like dish, but you can play around with the ingredients as you please.

It is eaten with or without rice and some eat it with bread. You’ll love it!

11. Kousa Mahshi and Waraq Enab

Kousa Mahshi and Waraq Enab

Now this… a weakness of Arabs in general, let alone Qatar! Every Arab you meet will admit to having a soft spot for kousa mahshi and waraq enab.

Kousa means zucchini and mahshi means stuffed, which would translate into what it quite literally is; stuffed zucchini. Stuffed with what? With the most mouthwatering combination of magical spices, rice, and minced meat, stuffed into the hollowed out zucchini.

Waraq enab is grape leaves stuffed with minced meat, rice, and yummy spices. Some people like to add minced tomatoes too.

This dish can be made with different sauces, lemon, yogurt, or tomato. It is all a matter of preference. Bottom line, the combination of kousa mahshi and waraq enab is heaven on Earth!

Next up, Margoog! This dish is a healthy and hearty combination from start to finish. Think of it as a mixture of carrots, potatoes, meat, eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini.

But the people of Qatar always like to go the extra mile and add something extra to their dishes. And here they add pieces of bread dough, which boil in the mixture absorbing all the delicious flavor.
