We join chef and author Sami Tamimi in his home kitchen as he makes maqluba, or makloubeh - a traditional upside down dish made with chicken, vegetables and rice, that’s popular across Palestine, Syria and Lebanon.
Perfect for sharing, this dish makes a great centrepiece for Eid celebrations served with yogurt and cucumber. This recipe is adapted from Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi (Ebury).
As part of our At Home series, we’re welcoming some special guests to our channel from their home kitchens. In each episode they’ll share the recipes they love to cook, what inspires them and their favourite ingredients.
We’d love to know who you’d love to see on our channel or the dishes you’d like us to feature so comment below and let us know what you think.
