Al-Ruqsh

Al-Ruqsh is a dish typical of the Najran Region in Saudi Arabia, consisting of hand-torn thin flatbread poured over with meat broth and topped with meat, traditionally lamb. Alternatively, the bread can be poured over with ghee and milk. The bread is made with whole wheat flour and water, and it's liquid in consistency, so it's simply smeared in a thin layer onto a hot griddle to bake. The dish is traditionally served in al-mudahin, a granite stone dish that has a cover made with a lid made of palm leaves. Some broth usually accompanies the dish on the side, which can be added depending on how wet or dry one likes it. Hard-boiled eggs, roasted onions, and green peppers are also served with the dish. It is typically served for breakfast or dinner.
