BARIIS ISKUKARIS (SOMALI-STYLE RICE)
Somali-style rice, when prepared for festive occasions, can be a satisfying meal on its own: The rice is cooked in a rich stock and often jeweled with pieces of meat and vegetables. This version of the dish comes from Ayaan and Idyl Mohallim, twin sisters who make their own xawaash, an aromatic spice mixture that is layered with fenugreek and turmeric. The finished rice is also generously seasoned with saffron, as well as softened peppers and raisins. At Thanksgiving, the rice is a versatile side with roast turkey and vegetables, and the day after, it's a great base for leftovers. You could easily use a vegetable stock in place of a meat stock for a vegetarian version, and add more vegetables to the topping. The Mohallim sisters, on occasion, add blanched green beans to the mix.

Add raisins and allow to soften, about 2 minutes, then add red bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and set aside on a paper towel.
- In the same pot, make the rice: Heat 1/2 cup oil. Add onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, cinnamon sticks, cardamom, cloves and xawaash and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Stir in stock and rice. Bring to boil, then cover and cook on low heat 20 minutes. Stir in saffron and raisins and season to taste with salt. Cover, turn off heat and steam for 5 more minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, using a large spoon to pile rice in a heap onto a platter. Sprinkle topping over rice and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Make the xawaash: In a medium bowl, combine the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, black pepper, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- Heat a medium oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, onion, tomato, garlic, and cinnamon stick. Cook until the onions have softened slightly, 5-6 minutes.
- Season with salt, then add the vegetable stock cube and cilantro. Cook for 1 minute, breaking up the stock cube.
- Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the xawaash and soaked rice. Cook for about 3 minutes so rice grains lightly toast.
- Pour in the hot water and increase the heat to high to bring to a boil. Cover the pot, transfer to the oven, and bake for 20 minutes. Check periodically to be sure the rice has enough water.
- Remove the cooked rice from the oven and drizzle the red and orange food colorings on top. Gently mix so there are different colored grains.
- Sprinkle the raisins over the hot rice, cover, and set aside.
- To prepare the topping, mix the potatoes with the orange food coloring in a medium bowl (wear gloves to avoid stained fingers!).
- Heat about 1 inch ( 2 cm) of oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the potatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, then transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- In the same oil, fry the onion slices until browned and crispy, 2-3 minutes. Add the red peppers cooking for an additional minute. Drain on paper towels.
- To assemble the rice, transfer the pilaf to a large serving platter. Top with the fried potatoes, crispy onions, and red bell peppers.
- Enjoy!

BARIIS
Like many Somalis, Hawa Hassan cooks bariis, an aromatic rice pilaf, as a side to almost everything. It's the perfect dish because it's packed with flavor thanks to xawaash, a spice blend that's more important than salt and pepper in Somali cooking. Every household has its own version, and for hers, Hawa combines cumin, coriander, peppercorns, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and turmeric. "Even though I live an ocean away from my family, every time I make a bowl of bariis, I feel right at home."

Steps:
- Rinse the rice in a medium bowl under cold water until the water runs clear. Then cover with cold water and set aside at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the red onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the cinnamon stick and cloves and continue cooking until the spices smell fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cardamom and cook 1 additional minute.
- Increase the heat to high and add the tomato and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until most of the tomato's water has evaporated and you're left with a jammy paste. Drain the rice; add to the pot, stirring to coat. Fry for 5 minutes.
- Stir the xawaash into the rice along with 4 cups of warm to boiling water. Add the raisins and another pinch of salt; stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Serve with tamarind date sauce.

Steps:
- Place the cornmeal, yeast, and 2 cups of the water in a large bowl and stir together vigorously with a spoon. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature, until small bubbles appear on top and the mixture has risen slightly, about 1 hour.
- Add the remaining 3 cups water, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and stir well to combine. Whisk in the flour, until the mixture is smooth. Cover the bowl once more with the kitchen towel and let it sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours to help develop the fermented flavor. The mixture will have some bubbles on the surface; the longer it sits, the more flavor it will develop. The mixture will have some bubbles on the surface.
- When you're ready to cook the pancakes, place the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, stir the batter well and ladle enough into the skillet to form a thin, even layer across the bottom, tilting the pan to coat the surface (the exact amount will depend on the size of your skillet but figure about ½ cup). Use the rounded base of your ladle to swirl batter to make some circular grooves on the surface. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until no liquid remains on the surface and the underside is barely golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter (no need to add more butter after the first pancake). Stack the pancakes as you make them and serve them warm as they are or rolled up as in the photo.

Add potatoes, carrot, and bell pepper and continue to cook, thinning with water if needed, until beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through, about 15 minutes more. Season with 1 Tbsp. salt.
- Meanwhile, drain soaked rice. Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in another large saucepan over medium. Add remaining onion and cook, stirring, until beginning to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and remaining 3 garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato and cook until tomato is cooked through and begins to break down, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook until lightly fried, about 5 minutes.
- Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add boiling water, 2 Tbsp. xawaash spice mix, and remaining 2 tsp. salt to rice mixture and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff rice gently with a fork.
