Mumawwash

This classic dish from Kuwait combines rice and mung bean legumes. Mung beans are sautéed alongside onions and a variety of dried spices such as cinnamon, turmeric, coriander, saffron, and dried lemon before they are combined with rice. The dish is slowly simmered in a flavorful broth until it reaches the right consistency. Traditionally, mumawwash is served on large plates and is occasionally accompanied by sautéed shrimps that are neatly arranged on top of the dish.
