Tahreed (ثريد) is a classic and beloved Arabic dish that combines bread with meat and vegetables in a rich, flavorful broth. It’s often described as an Arabic-style “bread stew” and is known for being both hearty and comforting. It’s especially popular during Ramadan and is considered one of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) favorite dishes.

The bread should soak up the broth but not become too soggy layer it just before serving.
You can add green beans, pumpkin, or other vegetables based on regional or personal preference.
Chicken can be used instead of lamb or beef for a lighter version.
