Quzi (Arabic: قوزي), 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.[1] 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]
