Salh

Salh is a traditional Arabic dish that has gained popularity in various Middle Eastern and North African cuisines. The term "salh" translates to "salt" in Arabic, reflecting the dish's primary ingredient. It is a simple yet flavorful dish, typically prepared by cooking a variety of vegetables, often including carrots, potatoes, and green beans, in a large pot with plenty of salt and water. The vegetables are left to soak in the brine for several hours, allowing them to soften and absorb the flavors. After soaking, the vegetables are drained and cooked until tender, often with additional seasoning such as garlic, cumin, and coriander. Salh is often served as a side dish, accompanying grilled meats or as part of a larger meal. Its simplicity and versatility make it a staple in many households, particularly in regions where fresh vegetables are abundant. The dish is not only a culinary delight but also a reflection of the region's agricultural heritage and the importance of salt in traditional cooking methods.
