Saloona | Traditional Stew From United Arab Emirates, Arabian Peninsula | TasteAtlas

Saloona

(Saluna, Salona, صالونة)

Saloona or salona is a classic Arabian stew that is usually enjoyed as an everyday, home cooked meal. The most common variety is prepared with chicken (dejaj), but vegetables, other types of meat such as beef or lamb, and fish can also be used as the main ingredient.


Although it is quite versatile, saloona usually combines generously-seasoned, tomato-based broth with sautéed onions, garlic, ginger, vegetables, and the optional choice of the main ingredient. This hearty dish is believed to have Bedouin origins, and it is often prepared during the month of Ramadan.


It is usually accompanied by rice or bread.
