| Region: | Iraq |
Arook (Hebrew:ערוק, Arabic: عروق) is a traditional Iraqi dish, resembling a fritter or croquette, and is common among Iraqi Jews.[1]
The dish is composed of potatoes, parsley, salt, onion, egg, flour, black pepper, and green onions, which are chopped, mixed together, and fried.[2]
It is customary to serve the dish on Shabbat mornings, but primarily during the holidays of Sukkot and Hanukkah.
In addition to the vegetarian version, there is also a version containing ground beef or chicken, carrots, and raisins.[3]
