It is the name given to rice that turns brown in color, known as Sayyadiyyah rice, and its name is associated with fishermen since it is always served with fried or grilled fish or seafood in general.
in 2024, the Culinary Arts Commission announced the naming of regional dishes for the provinces of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as part of the 'National and Regional Dishes Narratives' Initiative. 'Sayyadiyyah' was named the signature dish of Tabuk Province.
Sayyadiyyah rice is prepared by cooking a large amount of onions until their color changes to brown, then adding water, butter, and rice, which gives the rice its brown color during cooking. Additionally, cumin and black lemon can be added to enhance its flavor with a more acidic taste.
According to the Culinary Arts Commission, it is preferable when preparing Sayyadiyyah, to serve fish such as al-Shu'oor, al-Najil al-Sagheer, al-Tarrad, or al-Shareef, along with long-grain rice.
