A Middle Eastern rice dish will not be complete without some type of Arabic salsa as an accompaniment, so for the Beef Kabsah I made during Hari Raya AidilAdha, I tried out Chef Ammar’s Sambal Arab. Hot and tangy, it was perfect to counter the greasy fattiness of the beef. Definitely a must, if you’re thinking Kabsah or Mandy for dinner today.
