Maqluba (Palestine)



Maqluba is the national dish of Palestine, but can also be found in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan. There are many variations of this layered one-dish dish, but the basic principle is to turn it over before serving, which is the meaning of the word maqluba.

Ingredients include rice, vegetables (usually carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, cauliflower, onions), herbs and spices (usually turmeric and sumac), and meat such as chicken or lamb, but the dish can also be made without meat. The ingredients are cooked and layered, then boiled until there is no liquid left.

Before serving, the maqluba is turned upside down and then usually garnished with pine nuts or chopped parsley. It is recommended to serve the dish with cucumber and tomato salad, olives and yogurt.
