About Halal
Halal means permitted in Islam. In the kitchen, that means no pork and no alcohol in any form. Meat and poultry should be halal-certified, and that includes checking items like broth and gelatin.
Many dishes feature chicken, lamb, beef, rice, lentils, fresh herbs and warm spices. Vanilla and other extracts are often made with alcohol, so cooks look for alcohol-free versions. Unlike the other diets here, halal is about sourcing and ingredients rather than cutting food groups.
