Qidreh is a traditional Palestinian dish made by layering spiced rice, chickpeas, and chunks of lamb or chicken in a copper or clay pot, then slow-cooking it with garlic, turmeric, cinnamon, and cardamom until tender and aromatic. Originating in Hebron (Al-Khalil), Qidreh is a celebrated centerpiece of Friday prayers, weddings, and Ramadan feasts, known for its communal spirit and deeply seasoned flavor. It's often served with plain yogurt or cucumber salad, and traditionally baked in wood-fired ovens.
Common variations include Qidreh bil Dajaj (with chicken) or vegetarian versions with chickpeas and broth.
