Saltah

Saltah

Saltah (Arabic: سلطة) is one of the main dishes widely eaten in Yemen and it is mainly served for lunch. Its base is either lamb, chicken, or beef. Other ingredients are added, but vary from household to household. Other ingredients include cooked rice, scrambled eggs, potatoes, hulbah (a sauce made with fenugreek), beans, chopped meat, and a salsa called sahawqa. It is eaten with flat bread like malooga.

It is believed saltah originated in Sana'a and its history dates back one hundred years introduced by the Ottoman Turks occupying Yemen at the time. However, it was the Yemeni additions that made saltah what it is today.
