Yemen Food 101 in the photo are the basic yemen Dishes that you can safely eat all over yemen in small places and by the way in my opinion they are very tasty.
Fuul, or Fuul Medammis, cooked in a stone pot as seen in the photo is a very popular dishes in Yemen yo can find it anywhere. Cooked Fava beans with olive oil, coriander, cumin, lemon juice,
garlic, eggs, and fresh cilantro. (Survival food) safe to eat comes to your table boiling)
Saltah is a spicy green stew made with meat and veggies cooked in a stone bowl called a “Madr” or “Makli” ( Safe survival food) comes to your table boiling)
Shorbat Adas - Lentil Soup
Mohkbazat Sayd -- Clay oven kiln cooked fish served with spicy sauce.
Yemeni bread baked on demand frresh in a clay in a kiln-type oven.
Kibda wa Kalawi Mashwiya (grilled liver and kidney) not my taste but my wife loves this dish
Hummus which is a mashed chick pea paste with garlic and olive oil.
How my favorite is Shawarma this tasty dish is made putting thin strips of meat onto a skewer and cooked slowly on a rotisserie. The best one in Sana’a have the rotisserie fire burning with charcoal or wood not gas or electric. The fat at the top melts with cooking and flavors the meat. Half the fun is watching the cooks work the rotisserie and knife making it a show fit for Japanese steakhouse.
The shaved meat my favorite is lamb but beef and chicken are common is put on a slice of pita bread . Ttahini and/or hummus, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, onion are wrapped and tucked into the sandwich and eaten with Tabouli, Hummus, and Fattoush.
