Preparation
The process of cooking ''maraq'' would usually begin by boiling some meat with some spices and onions. After the meat is tender and cooked, it is served on a bed of rice. The resulting ''maraq'' broth would be served in a bowl on the side. It is also common to squeeze fresh lime into the ''maraq'' as it cools down for additional flavor. ''Maraq'' can also be found in Somalia, Ethiopia, Oman, Yemen and other
Arab countries in the Persian Gulf region.
