Maqluba is a traditional Palestinian dish.It's wholesome and delicious. Often referred to as the national dish of Palestine! The main ingredient in Maqluba is rice, which is mixed with fried cauliflower, eggplant, potatoes, and meat. In Arabic, Maqluba (Makloubeh or Maqlooba) means “Upside Down” since we take the pot and flip it upside down directly on the large plate. The dish is then garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro and extra sumac, which adds flavor. It’s served warm and can be eaten as is or with a side salad or vegetables.
“Palestinian Maqluba is not only delicious but also rich in history and culture.What I love about this recipe is you can add anything that you can imagine from meat to any vegetables. Plus, it’s easy to make is very simple way at home”
