Thareed is a potted stew that is also considered a staple during the month of Ramadan. It is at its most basic, an Arab lasagne with chicken or lamb that is cooked for a long time in a broth of tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, beans, onions and a lot of spices. Since it is stewed for a long while, the ingredients become soft and the sauce becomes thick. You would usually eat it with bread that is dipped in to soak up all the sauce. It is hearty and filling.
