The FLIPPED-OVER rice dish adored by ALL Palestinians

This Palestinian Maqluba is one of the greatest rice dishes. It includes tender meat and fried vegetables cooked within the rice to give it a ton of flavour. The dish is cooked in a pot, then flipped over before serving, revealing a stunning rice dish that is packed full of flavour in every bite. This version is for a lamb and aubergine maqluba, but it can also be made with chicken and cauliflower (get the recipe in our e-book). Served with a yoghurt sauce, this dish is one of the Middle Easts greatest meals. ___ Grab our new e-book today to learn how to cook the most delicious Middle Eastern meals, and to equip you with the knowledge and menus you need to host a remarkable dinner party.
