Typical Street Food Dishes You Should Try In The Host Country Of World Cup 2022

The World Cup 2022 championship in Qatar has been taking place globally since November 20th and the Groups are going to be wrapping up next week. Teams from the Netherlands, North America, England, and Senegal have been one of the first who successfully advanced to the knockout bracket.

If you have been keeping up with the latest news and analysis, now is the perfect time to get involved with World Cup 2022 betting. The experts from OnlineCasinoAussie are here to help you find the best website for sports betting.

With that, Qatar World Cup is not only a way to open endless betting opportunities, but also to recreate at a leisure level. And while everyone’s focus is on what happens on the fields of the ongoing contest, there is a chance to try unique gastronomic old traditions on the world stage. That is why we would like to introduce you to Qatari cuisine and the dishes to try if you are in the host country of FIFA WC 2022 or just plan to visit.

Dive into Old Food Traditions from the Middle East

Strongly impacted by Arabian old food traditions and local flavors, typical gastronomy in Qatar is often slow-cooked in clay pots over a fire. Since Qatar is a peninsular nation, with the economy evolving on the sea until the 20th century, seafood remains a crucial part of the gastronomic heritage. Also lamb and chicken are inherited from the Muslim.

Typical street dishes often feature seafood in the summer and meat in the winter. Then, of course, much of the magic lies in the use of spices. The food is generally seasoned with cloves, coriander seeds, black pepper, cinnamon sticks, dried ginger, turmeric, and saffron.

Also, the host country of the ongoing FIFA World Cup is one of the biggest consumers of sugar, tea, and fruit in the Middle East nation. This may contrast with the image that Qatari cuisine is mostly spicy and salty. Below we will leave you with different types of dishes you need to try if you attend the country of the World Football championship.

Typical Street Food Dishes to Try

Whether you are looking for a snack, a meal to share with friends or a savory treat, there are many unique dishes to try out on the world stage. You can try machboos, Khobes Rgag, Falafel, Hamour, and Luqaimat.

Machboos

For tourists looking to embrace Qatari tradition, machboos are definitely an option to try. A combination of basmati rice and protein that can be grilled chicken, lamb, camel, shrimp, or fish, seasoned with various spices and the national spice blend known as bizar. It is typically accompanied by salad and tomato sauce.

Hamour

Dish made from one of the reef cod types, which can be roasted, fried or stewed. Hamour is accompanied by a portion of slow-cooked rice and various spices that give it a unique aroma. It is typically presented in the form of strips accompanied by french fries, making it easier to consume in its fast-food mode.

Madrouba

A dish that makes you remember your time as a baby, because it is a porridge with chicken as the main ingredient, accompanied by rice. The porridge is often spicy and seasoned with turmeric, cardamom, cumin, saffron, cloves, cinnamon sticks, garlic and dried ginger.

Luqaimat

We can’t mention this sweet Qatari dessert. Luqaimat is a fried dough that is immersed in sugar syrup. This creates a unique texture: crunchy on the outside and very soft on the inside. It may also be sweetened with spices such as cardamom and saffron or be accompanied with a dairy sauce such as Lavan.

Plant-Based Options

Even though seafood and meat remain crucial ingredients in the gastronomic heritage, Arabic’s food scene has evolved recently to include various trendy plant-based options in their culture.

Khobes Rgag

One of the popular current proposals includes Khobes rgag, a typical flatbread, which accompanies dishes including tharid made from pieces of bread in a vegetable broth. Khobes rgag may be also accompanied by a stock and tomato sauce stew with bread lining the bottom of the pot.

Hummus

Another popular option is hummus, which is a spread made up of chickpeas. The recipe of hummus varies from country to country. It is often flavored with various spices like rosewater and saffron. Hummus may be served as a side dish or dessert.

Falafel

Falafel is a traditional vegetarian snack that is made from chickpeas or fava beans. Besides being a tasty food, it is also a nutrient rich food that contains a lot of protein, folate, manganese, and iron. It is made with different spices and fresh herbs. Some places also use grilled red peppers, sweet potatoes, and jalapenos.

As you can see from the above, there is a wide variety of food available in the country, from national Arabic dishes to international cuisine. That’s why it will not be a problem to find options that scratch the itch.
