Quzi

Quzi , also spelled as qoozi or ghoozi, is a popular rice-based dish and is considered one of Iraq's national dishes. It is served with very slowly cooked lamb, roasted nuts, and raisins served over rice. The dish was introduced into Turkey by Syrian immigrants.[citation needed] The dish can also be found in some Arab states of the Persian Gulf.[citation needed] The Arabic word quzi قوزي comes from Ottoman Turkish kuzı قوزی meaning 'lamb'. In Iraqi cuisine, it is usually prepared by stuffing a whole lamb with rice, vegetables, spices and nuts and slow-cooking it over a closed or submerged oven. In some places in the Middle East it is buried in a pit containing burning coal or charcoal to get the smoky flavor.
