Hi,

When living abroad, tasting the local cuisine is part of discovering the country.

What is your favorite food in Palestine?

What is the local speciality?

Share with us the local tastes of Palestine and why not your best recipe.

Thank you in advance,

Priscilla

Although Palestine and Jordan are almost the same in the cuisine, there is one dish I like very much.
And because its original Palestine, I post it here.

It is mushakhan ( I hope I spell it correctly):

Its chicken with lots of caramelized onions and sumac (red spice which taste a bit like lemon) baked on special thick bread with olive oil in the oven and topped with toasted pine nuts.

If I eat this, I cant get enough of it...
