Faten, Thanks, some people also do not put the laban on top, they just leave it on the side and they can add it later. hope your mom likes it too.

Hahahahahahaha , i liked the way u r cutting the Arabic bread in scissor , we used to cut it randomly by our hands .
THANK YOU for these recipes , i wish that i will be able to cook like u .
UMM, sorry,
I really have to be honest, yogurt on top of the rice, this is the first time I have seen that. But that may be because I have only been to Palestine for 10 days and have been to Jordan a few months at a time.
But I cook just like my mom who was raised in Palestine. I am sure if she see this she will know it but I don’t. Fatteh Hummus, Tomato, I have heard of, but have not tried ( picky family).
This is one of the things I love about our culture, the cooking and diversity within it.
I need to show this to my mom,
Faten…NO, This is not Mansaf recipe!!! like you siad, with mansaf the yogurt or jameed is COOKED…this is a basic Fatteh recipe, you may make it with chicken or meat broth and use chicken of meat depending on what type of Fatteh you are making….again, you surprise me by not knowing this dish!! it a very popular dish in Jordan, Palesting, Syria, Lebanon and even Egypt!!! what part of the middle east are you from?? there are many types of fatteh recipes, such as Hummos fatteh, Makdoos fatteh, and so on…hundreds if not thousands online fatteh recipes too…i suggest that you google it in arabic and in english and you will be surprised of how many there are out there!!!
Is this the way you make “Mansef”
or is it something entirely different?
It looks like “Mansef” but as Palestinians we add the Yogurt or Jamed to the Broth and let it cook. I have to try adding Lemon to the Bread next time though, I never saw that done before. :) Looks Yummy. Your making the ikbisers Hungry Summer
He he,,,
Nidal, Thank you…when cooking i try to find the easiest and fastest way to do things, so cutting the bread with scissor makes more sense than by hand….i use it to cut uniform cuts of meat and chicken breast too. try it.
