Makbous is a traditional Tunisian rice dish that is similar to pilaf. It is made with long-grain rice that is cooked with a variety of ingredients, such as meat, vegetables, and spices. The dish often includes ingredients like chicken, lamb, or beef, along with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and a blend of spices, such as turmeric, cinnamon, and cardamom. The rice absorbs the flavors of the ingredients, resulting in a fragrant and flavorful dish. Makbous is often garnished with toasted almonds or pine nuts and is a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations.
