Fega’ata, or bottom-of-the-pot chicken and rice

The name of this uniquely Bahraini dish means “bottom of the pot”, which is where all the good stuff happens. The meat (or fish or vegetables) is left to steam and cook gently without any liquid, and the rice is piled on top. Don’t skimp on the onions, because their moisture is what helps move things along. The chicken skin doesn’t go crisp here; instead, it acts as a shield, keeping the meat nice and tender
