Veganism in Oman is gaining momentum, and the local culinary scene is gradually adapting to accommodate this shift. While traditional Omani cuisine has historically revolved around meat and dairy, the rise of veganism has led to the creation of vegan-friendly versions of classic dishes. For instance, "Shuwa," a beloved Omani delicacy typically involving marinated meat cooked underground, now has a vegan variant using plant-based proteins marinated and prepared in a similar style. "Salata Hara," a spicy Omani salad typically made with fish, can be transformed into a vegan delight by substituting the fish with hearty vegetables and aromatic spices. Furthermore, "Qabooli," a fragrant rice dish often featuring meat, can be reinvented using chickpeas or lentils as the protein source, maintaining the dish's essence while making it plant-based. As the demand for vegan options rises, eateries in Oman are embracing this movement, offering diverse and delicious plant-based meals that both locals and visitors can savor.
