Your New Favourite dish will be this layered Palestinian one

- One of the greatest Palestinian dishes is Musakhan; which combines confited sumac onions and aromatic chicken to create a dish that is deep in Umami and Tangy flavours. This dish is a big part of Palestinian culture too, as it's often used to test the purity of olive oil and the quality of each year's harvest. Being such an important dish, it's evolved into many forms and become a ubiquitous Palestinian Flavour, leading to today's dish Musakhan Fatteh. It contains layers of crispy bread, tangy musakhan & luscious sauces, to create a bite that is impossible not to love. So make this dish and invite your friends to try it, and while doing that, raise some money for #CookForPalestine. And don't forget to tag @MiddleEatsYT and @CookForPalestine on Instagram

If you're thinking of making this dish, and want to adapt it to be vegetarian or vegan, try using chickpeas in place of the chicken or an alternative yoghurt. Additionally, you can just toast the bread in the oven to avoid frying using this method: czcams.com/video/BuCoZdLptwA/video.htmlsi=1JG1rLdDVS_IiAcm&t=94
And once you make the dish, don't forget to share it on instagram and tag #CookForPalestine. You can learn more about the campaign and donate at www.CookForPalestine.com
I'll definitely try this with chickpeas.
And what a great idea to host a fundraiser with this dish!
Thank you for the vegetarian alternative bro!
Appreciate you providing that alternative!
I’d also say mushrooms like oysters, shredded trumpets, maitake or of course if you’re in a place to forage chicken of the woods!
Or alternatively any kind of vegan mock-chicken, soy curls, Meati mushroom root cutlets
This recipe looks incredible! Was also going to say that oyster mushrooms or seitan strips could be a good substitute for the chicken and could also be marinated in the same spice mix. Need to try this!
I was just about to say ill try it with tofu.
I’m Palestinian and I can confirm that this dish is amazing.
Strength to you, my friend. Praying for good days for Palestine!
❤🇵🇸from Italy.
I am not familiar with Palestinian cuisine, but this looks absolutely delicious. Praying for the Palestinian people.
Pray for them all! From what I hear everyone over there on all sides need our prayers
@@lukasbiktjrn4822 dude
Contact your local Mosque and ask them if there are any Palestinian families in the area who would be willing to accept a visitor. I GUARANTEE you you'll get an invite to someone's home quickly. Arab Hospitality to guests is LEGENDARY.
@@jonjohns8145 That is a grate idea, Im in Germany but would really give that a try.
@@genugist I have met lots of Palestinians in Germany! You can also ask any Arab if they know a Palestinian nearby and I guarantee you you'll find someone :)
There's a Lebanese restaurant in my hometown, and I credit living and feasting with other cultures as my early education against xenophobia. Fastest way to the heart is thru the stomach!
I know it may seem small, but I greatly respect what you are doing to share Palestinian food. May we all break bread in peace and freedom
Xenophobia in the USA can be created when some like Latinos immigrate and really don't want to assimilate! They should press 2 to learn USA English.
I agree. There's something about eating alongside people from different cultures, that really ties together our shared humanity. It's always enlightening to understand how and why a cuisine is made the way it is, and the stories behind the dishes.
@@MiddleEats I will always remember when my Syrian refugee friend invited me to their home and his mother made Sahlep and fresh falafel for us! First and best falafel I ever had and an immediate feeling of connection between the cultures.
My partner and I cooked this last week. It was delicious, but also very emotional. I had recently seen a news story about how limited the food was in Gaza- the reporter was showing them cooking palm-sized flatbreads and eating it with za'atar, which was all they had. It felt as if my partner and I, safe in our home, were cooking and eating the food that they should have been eating. Many thanks, Obi- not only for the wonderful food (we've cooked many of your recipes and they've all been incredible), but for using your platform to raise awareness about the plight of the Palestinian people.
I know how you feel. I think about them every time I cook or go shopping for groceries
I cry at least once a day
I pray God helps us stop this genocide and the world gives them their sovereign state back.
No one on earth deserves it more.
God bless PALESTINE and her people 🙏💙🇵🇸
now people in Northern Gaza are eating cattle food because the Israel, the US, and their puppet in Egypt are not allowing food to come in
"There is no place for hate in this community. Anyone commenting anti-palestinian, antisemetic or anti-arab hate will be blocked from commenting." THANK YOU ❣❣❣ And thanks for this intriguing recipe. I'm looking forward to trying it.
@@traviswilson36 you won't get anyone here to condemn hamas or their use of civilian areas such as hospitals, mosques and schools as rocket bases and storages for grab and go bags with weapons for terrorists
@@Epicdps this is a cooking channel, why bring that into this. It’s got the same feeling of people putting free Palestine in the comment section of a video of a Jewish person doing anything. You can condemn Hamas and sympathize with Israel while also acknowledging the disproportionate burden the war puts on Palestinians civilians.
@@UndecidedCryptid Acknowledge the disproportionate burden Hamas Isis puts on Palestinians civilians. There I fixed it for you.
@@TinyBeefyBro. This is a cooking channel. Read the room.
@@TinyBeefyYou're adorable.
As a Palestinian man born in the US and not raised in the culture, I'm very excited to make this for my family this week. Thank you for supporting humanitarian work
❤❤
You mean Jordanian
@@OkaypionsNo, I didn't. Please don't assume you know my family history.
@@AbeAlSaleh Palestinian isn’t a race of people. They’re mostly Jordanian. Don’t erase mine.
I first tried Palestinian cuisine when i made a college friend from Jordan whose grandparents had fled during the Nakba, and I'm forever indebted to him for it. I'm indebted to you too for your work- food is such an important reminder of people's humanity and the things that connect us all.
Lol you have more balestinian food coming your way
@@TheGreatDanikmore expulsions than the original Nakba.... so yeah...
May Allah bless you my friend! And may Allah protect the Palestinian people🙏
I am no expert on international politics or anything, but I believe that nobody should have to suffer through war and persecution. My heart goes out to the people of Palestine, as well as every other war-torn country in the world. This dish sounds delicious and I’m grateful for you teaching us to cook it, as I’d never have known about it otherwise.
My wish to everyone on Earth: I wish you peace, safety, and the opportunity to have a good, filling meal with your loved ones.
I made a veggie version of the mussakhan with aubergine instead of chicken, but I prepared it exactly how he cooked the chicken and it turned out so good 😭 thanks for the recipe!!
I first ate this in a Palestinian restaurant on East Jerusalem, and was so enamored with it I asked the cook to write it down for me! It is amazing.
I’ve been following y’all since the beginning. Lots of love and we all appreciate you taking a stand for the Palestinian people. 🍉
I really like your show and I love that you show support for people in need. I have no stake in the conflict in the Middle East being Eastern European, but I know how deeply people can be scared by war... being an Eastern European.
I came to know a Lebanese man, a colleague of mine who is the most humble, kind heartened and sweet person I have ever met. Your show and presentation reminds me a LOT of my friend and colleague. God bless you.
Thank you!
May Almighty bless you too
@@traviswilson36 pls go somewhere else...
We made Palestinian Fettah many times. And we're Egyptian/Lebanese. This dish is on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of flavor. We don't usually use chicken though. We use minced meat + eggplant
I am an Ashkenazi Jew whose grandparents fled the pogroms of Russian Cossacks to settle in NYC. I love Palestinian food and am learning the recipes in Sami Tamimi's great cookbook, FALASTIN.
This Musakhan Fatteh looks wonderful and would make a lovely holiday dish. Sumac is one of my favorite spices; I often use it on salads and In sandwiches like Avocado Toast. The nut and pomegranate topping, sprinkled over tahini yogurt (which I'm familiar with) and that green chili sauce (which I'm not very familiar with) looks so festive!
If I wanted to make it vegetarian, what if I used mushrooms and eggplant (my favorite vegetable) instead of the chicken? If so, do you have any suggestions as to what kind of mushrooms? And maybe a green vegetable, too, like collard, mustard, and/or dandelion greens? Not that I have anything against chicken, but I'm always looking for ways to use mushrooms and eggplant.
This could be the dish that I break in my air fryer with; I hate using so much oil! Maybe you could suggest some side dishes, but it really doesn't look like it needs anything more than a flavorful tea. Any tea suggestions?
Thanks so much for sharing a recipe from your wonderful culture. Let's hope there is peace between our two cultures as soon as possible ❤😊
sumac is amazing!
thank you for showing off this recipe and sharing palestinian cuisine! with what's going on right now, the only thing many of us can do is hope and pray the people are doing okay, so it's wonderful you're using your platform to showcase their culture to the world. these are very real people with a very real right to live life, and the apathy and malice towards them is heartbreaking. you, however, are showing the world many reasons why we should care about them, about what's happening to them. i've been interested in making middle eastern food for a long time now, and this channel is probably my gateway into finally cooking these meals. here's to keeping the culture alive and beating! 🍉🍉🍉
As Anthony Bourdain said: “The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinians, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity”. I hope you enjoy the food and learn some new favourite recipes!
Thank you for this, Free Palestine 🇵🇸
I love that you're sharing Palestinian food with us!!! I donno anything about it til now. You rock.
looks delicious. keep up the goodwork en keep up sharing these Palestinian dishes :) Free Palestine and thank you
I love the red and green colors of the dish that match the Palestinian Flag! 🇵🇸
Respect for supporting Palestine! Cheers from Poland! Great recipe.
I was actually searching for palestinian dishes on your channel and I’m glad there’s a new one with a good cause. Looks delicious as always. I’m gonna cook this for my parents, I think.
There are Lots of Palestinian dishes you can choose from, but if you REALLY want an authentic Gaza dish look for "Sayadiyeh" or "the fisherman's dish" which is a Rice, Onions and Fish dish that is authentically Gazan which has long tradition of fishing. You can thank me Later .. 🙂
@@jonjohns8145 thanks!
@@jonjohns8145 Is it the deep brown colour rice with caramelized onions? If so it sounds like the Egyptian Sayadiyeh that I've done before, do you know if there are any interesting spices added to it? I'd love to try the Gazan variety
@@MiddleEats Oh it probably is the same as the Egyptian kind .. The only thing I would expect from the Gazan version is a bit more hot spices than the Egyptian or Lebanese versions because Gazans are quite famous for liking spicy peppers.
I admire what you are doing to bring attention to the Palestinian people. The NANP stands with you
Thank you so much uplifitng Palestinian food and the tragedies happening in both Gaza and the West Bank, I cannot wait to try this recipe, it looks like a dream!
Oh my goodness this looks gorgeous and so easy to make, this is what I love about Middle Eats cooking videos, I can taste and smell it all with my eyes.
Thankfully we can't gain weight just by looking at delicious food :D
thank you so much for this episode, love from egypt
My heart, thought always with Palestine. Though I'm not familiar with their culture and cuisine, it's so interesting to learn about it now. Thanks Middle Eats for showing us a way to learn their culture. May Allah bless you and your family.
Fab recipe, im intrigued by the tangy sumac and will definitely give this a try!
Free Palestine 🍉❤
I'm vegan so I will do it with a vegan chicken and coconut yogurt. Looks really tasty! Prayers for peace!
That sounds awesome. I think pan fried chickpeas would also be a great addition
Wow, this dish is packed with so much flavour and textural variety, it’s pure joy to eat! It takes a little bit of work (I made the pita‘s from scratch also) but holy moly this is absolutely delicious! First time for me to try Sumac. We’ve had a jar of it in the drawer for months now and I was looking for a good way to use it. Your recipe inspired me to give it a go (and I used the whole jar up straight away lol). I’ll definitely be making this again! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Made the chickpea version for tonight’s dinner. Delicious. Thank you & thank you, Palestine 🙏🏽🤎
You're awesome! Delivering delicious food while supporting great causes..
God bless you, both! I wish and pray for more success for you
Thanks!
Dang this looks good. Solidarity to the people of Palestine, end the occupation now. 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸
Good to share Palestinians recipes. It’s a good way to carve in the stone a part of their culture that some people want to erase.
Looks awesome, and I know it's a little thing but the pomegranate really makes it pop! And thanks for making the video - I liked the idea that you were highlighting Palestinian culture, but the fact you're encouraging others to do the same and talk about what's happening, and help where they can, that's fantastic
Thank you. Pomegranate is so awesome, it not only adds a pop of colour, but it also adds a pop of sour sweet flavour, so so good!
@@MiddleEats it's been a long time since I had one, I'll have to track some down!
Thank you for using your platform to raise awareness of the genocide. This food looks amazing, will definitely try. ❤🍉🇵🇸
I think this channel is the best, most comprehensive cooking channel I've ever seen! The creative weave of cooking skills and several recipes culminates beautifully in a complete dish! And the editing is on point!
Obi, I do not know how I missed this video recipe, but I did. I’m in love with both the chicken and the chickpea versions of this recipe. They are both delicious in their own right. 😊
Long live Palestinian resistance, never lose your culture!
Musakhan is one of my fave dishes to make! Love it!
I married my beautiful Palestinian husband and lived with him and his family in Jordan for two years before we moved to Netherlands for his job. During this time, I had the privilege of being taught traditional Palestinian cooking by my 76 year old mother in law and many sister-in-laws, including this delicious dish. Cooking and food is such a beautiful and major part of the culture. It’s not a quick, convenient means to an end like in the west. All of us women would get together in the kitchen, mostly on the floor (covered in a plastic sheet) and prepare every ingredient by hand before even getting to the actual cooking, even small things like milling our own pepper, pickling fresh olives, making our own tomato sauce by squeezing and mashing tomatoes by hand etc . We would sit together for hours in stations, each with our own task, talking, sharing, laughing and reciting Qu’ran. Then sitting down with the whole family to eat (his siblings and their families lived in the same street) almost every single night. Moving back to a western country after two years was honestly incredibly difficult to adjust. Insha’allah I will go with my husband and his family back to Fallastine when she is free 🇵🇸❤️❤️
awesome recipe chef , please show Arabic Areeka and Yemeni masoob recipe please
I love your recipes! could you maybe upload some more palestinian vegetarian recipes (that's not hummus or falafel)? I would love to cook something for my friends from Gaza, but they are vegetarian, and all the recipes I find are heavily meat based :(
That's so lovely of you. We did a Palestinian breakfast a while back and most if not all of those recipes were vegetarian. A big family breakfast on the weekend is a HUGE deal in the Middle East, so maybe that would be perfect to make them feel loved?
@@MiddleEats It would be great to have a mention of 'instead of this meat you could use [vergitarian ingreadient]
If you comb through his Christmas video, you'll find a Palestinian cauliflower bake which I think is up your alley. Looking through his other videos and comments, meat is easily substituted with other veges or legumes like cauliflower, eggplants, chickpeas, etc. Either that or you can just swap the meat out for replacements like tofu curls or vegan sausage.
I mean no disrespect to the wonderful creators of Middle Eats, but the Jude's Kitchen channel has a wealth of plant-based Palestinian recipes, as her family are vegetarian (she's from Ramallah).
Commenting to boost the algorithm . Long live Palestine
A Beautiful dish from a beautiful people. Going to make this soon as my Sumac arrives in the post.
Awesome! Check out our sumac video if you want more ideas for how to use it!
Been a subscriber since the early days and I'm so proud of the distance you've covered and the support for humanitarian causes ... I've made quite a few of your recipes as well!
Every Palestinian dish I've seen looks amazing, and this one is no different! I might try to make this myself.
Just tries this dish and WOW! Thank you so much for all your great recipes! Much love from Norway ❤
Hey Obi, been watching for a really long time since you started out, took a long break from cooking youtube and did other things, but coming back, I can say your videos have improved so dramatically. From the camera work, the background music, and the voiceover. It's all much more polished. Great work.
Thanks! The old videos definitely make me cringe
كرينج ايه يا عم انت مشرفنا كلنا@@MiddleEats
Well done, Middle Eats! The dream of freedom is best enjoyed with great food!
@koreyb - the only racism is that which you yourself bring.
Hopefully not all their land will be taken. 🙏
This might sound crazy but this dish tastes so good that I almost don't want to eat it, it's just so rich in flavour that one bite is enough to satisfy me. It really is a beautiful dish, probably one of the best I've made. Every ingredient works together so well. It took 4 hours to make but was worth it.
Thank you for taking the time to talk about Palestine even in a cooking video.
I cooked this today for my family! I think whatever i say about this dish i wont give it just!! Its delicious! Every single ingredient burst beautifully in your mouth! The addition of dukka made it unique! Thank you sooo much for sharing and giving me the compliments i got from it 😄
Made this once already and making it again tonight, my whole family LOVES it
great idea with the fundraiser through a dinner with friends! will definitely do that soon!
Thank you for this recipe I can’t wait to try it 🇵🇸 ❤
Thanks!
Just what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing recipes and helping us to learn about the people!
I made this today and was rather sceptical. Big surprise I was blown away by this amazing dish. 🤯. Delicious flavours and wonderful textures. 🤤
Thank you Obi for this amazing recipe. Usually they never fail to satisfy as impress. 👌❤
I am a vegetarian so I dont cook chicken but I love your recipes and videos- you and your wife are some of my fav creators on the platform
I also eat whole plant food, but occasionally I do use a processed food. I'm going to try soy curls as a replacement to the chicken. This looks too good not to try it!
this dish can be customized to your hearts desire,i usually use fried vegetables like eggplants and cauliflower instead of the chicken
exactly @@Asaseemo
suuuper and masha Allah
That looked so yummy
Nice recipe. I just love how people are using their platforms in innovative ways to encourage tolerance and encourage historical understanding
Made this today.. it tasted glorious. Thanks for this amazing recipe. Ceasefire now!
This is just perfect for my husband who is half Egyptian & half Palestinian.
Freedom for Palestine and food for the hungry.
Love your channel and videos!
Thank you for keeping Arabic/Middle Eastern and Palestinian rituals active and well documented on the Internet for the millions of middle eastern born thereafter
Sometimes the algorithm failure is just too good to be true LOL. Just stumbled upon this video. Free Palestine ya rabb 🤲
Musakhan is really similar to a historic English recipe I make all the time! Really fun to see how different cultures make something so similar and yet so unique. Def going to be adding sumac to my white chicken pottage
Obi that looks amazing 😍 you and Salma’s good heart shines through your talent in recipes
This is so great, support for Palestine.
Thanks, friend.
I'm like not doing so well and I think some cooking will get my spirits up!
Sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better, and if you're up for it, I think you'll enjoy the flavours.
Thank you
that looks delicious, it’s a shame i can’t have most of that because of dietary restrictions, but it looks like i should be able to have sumac so it would be fun to try to make something inspired by it using foods i can eat
Thank you for sharing this beautiful meal
Thank you for this
God I love this channel so much.
I’m so glad to be subscribed to this channel. I found you recently as I love Middle Eastern cuisine, so the tragedies happening right now need to be talked about if we wish to enjoy their culture. I don’t think anyone can love someone’s food without supporting who they are. Excellent recipe and I appreciate the site info! Peace to everyone. 🙏❤️
Brilliant new version of Msakhan❤ since its not the original recipe, i recommend you add a pomegranate molasses into the chicken marinade or even for a decoration as the colors should be wink wink 😉
Omg was searching for this, thank your for the recipe!
I've made this twice from a recipe in Palestine on a Plate by Joudie Kalla - with vegan chicken. It's so good and surprising! My heart breaks for Palestinians and the olive trees.
I can imagine this onion-sumac base on a focaccia-type bread! Would be amazing!
Love seeing this on my youtube recommendation!
That was delicious, thanks.
Been watching you for a while.
I have to say watching you support Palestine so vocally really warms my heart. 🆓🍉
Thank you so much for the recipe!!
Your content is always top notch.
But extra love for the humanitarian support for Palestine
This looks really good!
Love your videos and your message. ❤
Fantastic as always ❤
i just made this dish! so delicious! and made a donation to UNWRA
Reminds of a dish we call Papdi chat in India 🇮🇳. Cook for Palestine 🇵🇸 is great. End war end colonialism.
This is very important. We need to keep centering Palestinians are people. Just regular people
thankyou I recently purchased sumac because of many dishes that recommend this spice, i followed your recipe it turned out good👌though i love olive oil but i used very little oil to make it less calorie dense , i am sure with the amount of olive oil that u used it must be phenomenal, just wondering if sumac has so much red pigment or there is a chance that it is adulterated with red food color??
Great video!! Will try next week. And thank you for using your platform. Big fan 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This dish looks absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so for boosting the plight of the Palestinian people in this heart rending time.
To get personal, I'm a diasporic US Jew. I staunchly support and side with the Palestinian people, both as a human being with a conscience who refuses to take propaganda uncritically, and indeed *because* I'm a Jew. Our tradition strongly emphasizes the importance of justice, fairness, and "repairing the world." That our ancient yearning for being truly safe and love for our ancient history has been twisted by people enacting colonialism, murder and rape, and serving as mercenaries for the cruel imperial interests of western powers sickens me to the core. It's from learning our history of being killed and exiled and robbed that I vehemently oppose that same oppression visited on anybody else, ever. People who share my religion and my tribe do not get some special exception.
Despite strife and separation, the sons of Abraham were brothers. One day, G-d willing, let B'nei Yitzakh and Banu Ismail truly be siblings again.
Thank you! I've seen the vile hate thrown at some Jewish people for thinking the same thing, and I hope you are doing ok despite it. One day we will be able to live together in peace and dignity
Every time you drop a video, I change my mind about what I want to eat that day and I instantly want what you made! I’m gonna make this too ❤ thank you for all the work you do! Palestinian cuisine is feast for the senses and rich in flavor ❤
Haha sorry!
love this ❤
