The Tale of Suqaar
Suqaar, quickly stir-fried diced meat, reflects the meat-centered diet of Somalia's traditionally nomadic pastoralist communities, seasoned with spices that arrived through centuries of Arab and South Asian trade across the Indian Ocean. It's a fast, everyday dish built for a culture on the move.
