When people ask me what is the happiness I always imagine myself in this kind of kitchen cooking something like this while my whole family, relatives, and friends playing games, healthy, laughing and having fun in the living room waiting for the food...
i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
Her pronounciation of fatteh made me chuckle, it was very sweet. If anyone's interested in a saucier fatteh, try the Egyptian one. It has a layer of rice as well as pitta, and juicy chunks of meat on top instead of mince. It's all covered in a garlicy tomato and vinegar sauce. My mum used to make it and it is divine 😊
oabuseer Agreed! And for a lighter fatteh you should try the Syrian fatteh. Which is basically a layer of crispy pitta, a layer of chickpeas and hummus, a layer of the garlicky yoghurt & tahini sauce, and finally a drizzle of sizzling hot ghee which has in it fried garlic with dried coriander. Healthy, affordable, and absolutely mouth-watering! Edit: I literally sounded like I'm doing a commercial lol.
She is a lovely cook, but the beauty and elegance of this dish represent the history of countries (specifically Syria) with rich and old cultures. Hope someday in all regions of #Syria people give flowers to each other and we can have Fatteh at every corner in peace. :-)
I always enjoy watching nigella. you can tell she is so excited and happy about cooking. You see the joy food can actually bring to people. She was one of the first cooks I saw that made me fall in love with food and cooking
I have been in love with Nigella since about 1980 when she had a newspaper column in the Sunday mirror.I hung on to her every word and looked at the photo image of her accompanying the article.I knew then her beauty would not diminish over time. Boy am I right.
I've grown to totally adore watching Nigella cook. So fun so calm and so interesting. Even with things I may not like it's still nice to watch. Thank you Nigella.
I love Nigella. Her recipes are actually delicious...I must admit a few times her recipes haven't appealed to me but i made myself try them and they where beautiful. She is hypnotic to watch. You can't take it away from her, she is brilliant, I have heard famous chefs such as Gordon, Jamie and Rick at separate times pay homage and genuine respect to Nigella as a cook and as a person.
Nigella, you make life more pleasurable to the palate, to the ears and - why not?! - to the eyes! If today I am a good cook and am able to share my love through food, it is because of you! Not to mention the fact you taught me how to speak English properly - you turn it into a luscious language
This dish is delicious! My family loves it. We had it with tortilla chips, because we ran out of pita bread. We didn't have all the toppings. Just made the beef and aubergine with the yogurt-tahini sauce.
Her execution great, presentation and the way she explains very simple yet elegant. Below is the recipe from her website, it is so clear to make so easy this complex lovely dish. INGREDIENTS Serves: 4-6 METRICCUPS FOR THE BASE: 4 pita breads (split open and cut into nacho-sized triangles) FOR THE TOPPING: 2 cups full-fat greek yoghurt 5 x 15ml tablespoons tahini (at room temperature) 1 - 2 lemons (to give 3 x 15ml tablespoons of juice) 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced) 1 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt (to taste) FOR THE AUBERGINE-BEEF LAYER: 3 x 15ml tablespoons regular olive oil 1 small onion (peeled and finely chopped) 1 medium-large eggplant (cut into small cubes) 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons ground coriander 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or paprika (plus more for sprinkling) 1 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt (to taste) 1 pound ground beef TO SPRINKLE OVER: ¾ cup pomegranate seeds ⅓ cup toasted pinenuts 1 tablespoon mint (finely shredded leaves)
a fatteh is simply a casserole that you make with old pita bread~ you can make fatteh with an endless combination of ingredients, there is not one standard recipe, but rather it is a way to use old bread in a delicious & creative manner~
You did it perfectly, even better than my mom's version. you forgot the "Splash" or the "Tashe" or in indian they say "Tarka", which is the splashing of spicy boiling butter at the end
That is the most beautiful dish I've ever seen. I just love the fact the middle Eastern dishes some of them look like an array of beautiful gems, i.e. Turkish delights or anything with pomegranate on top.
This is a Syrian/ Middle eastern dish. Originally it’s cooked with baby aubergine, which are lightly fried and cooked in tomato paste, then layered in a dish with the rest of the ingredients.
It’s an original Syrian dish, especially Damascus, in Syrian it’s called fattet makdoos. The original version is just the best thing you’ll ever taste. You must’ve tried an inspired version of it in Lebanon (very far from original)
If to follow the middle eastern palate and get closer to the authentic dish, use little to no tahini, no cumin and no pomegranate but add a little tomato sauce to blend the flavors and to give it the distinct Fatteh texture/consistency that identify it rather than a nacho belegrande. And, garnish with generous amount of parsley on top. Save the pomegranates, cumin and tahini for the chickpeas fatteh.
Nachos! ;) Really, this sounds divine. I've never thought of mixing yoghurt and tahini before, but it sounds genius. Hah! I hadn't gotten to the end yet when I started writing this, but I just heard you liken it to nachos. Griiin. Great minds...appetites? Thanks!
It may seem sacrilegious to ask, but if I’m cooking this for a vegetarian can I swap the beef for minced quorn or similar. Or is that a big no-no? Thanks
I like her as her way of speaking is unique to her and none of this "[XYZ Ingredient] in!", "Take it to a whole new level/next level" phraseology that everyone from Ramsey, Oliver, Skehan et al seems to be using these days....
I think from now now I'm going to call the purple veggie an "aubergine" (sounds so lovely when Nigella says it), instead of the decidedly less appetizing-sounding "eggplant" lol
For the sauce add 1tbsp (mayonnaise,labna, and sour cream) Believe this become super wow... The for topics add some (sumaq) It will give twisted tasted of everything...
I wish chests would start being a little bit more salt conscious especially when patrons visit their restaurants, that they have the ability to decrease the salt. I make something like this all the time and really decrease salt because of our health issues. Your tastes adapt and it is quite tasty without the copious amounts of salt.
I use himalayan rock salt and I am generous with it... poor quality salt I'd almost completely avoid. I think with salt, it makes a difference what you use.
When people ask me what is the happiness I always imagine myself in this kind of kitchen cooking something like this while my whole family, relatives, and friends playing games, healthy, laughing and having fun in the living room waiting for the food...
Be sure to stock up on tea lights.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?

She has to have the BEST production of any cooking show!
What a beautiful surprise Nigella is cooking our Syria's famous Fatteh! We love you Nigella enjoy it Our Syrian Cuisine is full of tasty treasures.
She’s a magician with words
Raise your hand if you've turned to Nigella to sooth and console you during your coronavirus self quarantine.

haha yea you did. had no idea they use ghee in syria?!
So great to see her again! She looks so healthy and beautiful! :)

Ameen

I really love the music in this TV show.
I tried this recipe and it is indeed a winner! So delicious!
But, what would be a good alternative for the beef?
@@tinakaali139 Texturized soy would be the best substitue, or more aubergines or other vegetables, maybe even some mushrooms
@@03souse Thank you for your reply. It really helped me
I have been in love with Nigella since about 1980 when she had a newspaper column in the Sunday mirror.I hung on to her every word and looked at the photo image of her accompanying the article.I knew then her beauty would not diminish over time. Boy am I right.

I like her cleaning up method: Move things from one side of the bench to the other. Must try that.
I always get told off for that...apparently we have a 'dishwasher' just under the counter.
Make sure your cleanup staff stays out of the camera's view.
Anytime I'm feeling under the weather, her cooking shows are so consoling and so comforting
I love Nigella. Her recipes are actually delicious...I must admit a few times her recipes haven't appealed to me but i made myself try them and they where beautiful. She is hypnotic to watch.

How funny this recipe popped up on insta yesterday as her "recipe of the day" and now it's on my suggested plays. Bloody Zuckerberg!
This woman is magic! Her voice is so soothing and the food is amazing!
Why am I watching this at midnight…..I’m literally salivating and doing a mental recon of my fridge and pantry. 🥴
I dont care what she is making, i just love the setup👌👏
That looks so good.

This looks soooo good
Gosh, this video makes it so easy to fall in love with Nigella. What a wonderful gift to the world she is!
I am not sure what is more pleasurable, watching Nigella fondle her ingredients or watching Nigella fondle her words....
Her execution great, presentation and the way she explains very simple yet elegant. Below is the recipe from her website, it is so clear to make so easy this complex lovely dish.

Again i love everything you do
I met her at a book talk and signing in Napa, CA. She’s so beautiful, and even more so in person.
Just love the video, you and the final product!
I have just purchased this book (at my table) and its nice to see that i can know follow the video when making it!
Love the book
a fatteh is simply a casserole that you make with old pita bread~ you can make fatteh with an endless combination of ingredients, there is not one standard recipe, but rather it is a way to use old bread in a delicious & creative manner~
Her videos have a therapeutic effect on me.
I love it when she adds spices into her dishes. It just looks very pleasing :)
I've tried this today - goes well with rice instead of pitta.
I can't possibly love her more!
I love Nigella. I'm going to see her talk in Melbourne on the 9th February in Melbourne.
And now, we are obsessed with this dish too!! So delicious!!
I wish Nigella was my neighbor
Lol
If I'm wishing, I wish she was my wife!
You did it perfectly, even better than my mom's version. you forgot the "Splash" or the "Tashe" or in indian they say "Tarka", which is the splashing of spicy boiling butter at the end
ThanksFor Sharing theRecipe👍
Cooking goddess. I just want to cook exact same way she does so inspiring
That is the most beautiful dish I've ever seen. I just love the fact the middle Eastern dishes some of them look like an array of beautiful gems, i.e. Turkish delights or anything with pomegranate on top.
probably the best recipe of the new book
I tried this recipe and it is delicious! Made tacos out of the meat mixture and it was absolutely Divine!
YUM! "Middle Eastern" Nachos. That looks so beautiful!
I just love the way she says "Aleppo Pepper"
Nigella, you never cease to amaze me!
You took my breath away,Nigella
This is a Syrian/ Middle eastern dish. Originally it’s cooked with baby aubergine, which are lightly fried and cooked in tomato paste, then layered in a dish with the rest of the ingredients.
ms ms exactly, thank you. It’s original to Damascus only, not even other Syrian cities
It's Turkish. We had it in Bursa, and it was divine. Thank you.
@@rabahelaawar2499 I m Turkish and I m sure I ve never heard of it
@@sarahbeaux-arts7141
Maby .. but we have it Aleppo too ..
It has Aleppo pepper on top ;)
And the aubergine will be stuffed with minced lamb ..
She’s the best chef
It’s a piece of art itself.
Got to try this
It’s an original Syrian dish, especially Damascus, in Syrian it’s called fattet makdoos. The original version is just the best thing you’ll ever taste. You must’ve tried an inspired version of it in Lebanon (very far from original)
Oh. My. GOD. THIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!

And, garnish with generous amount of parsley on top.
Save the pomegranates, cumin and tahini for the chickpeas fatteh.
This is awesome ❤️
so many candles... such a beautiful kitchen setup! so jealous o_o
I love it, love it, love it..yuuuum a must try✨✨
Omg that kitchen!!!
Charles Blake except it’s a set in Acton W3 just down the road from where i used to live.
That looked amazing, just like you. ☺☺💟🌹💟
yummy...Looks really nice...
Oh god, I love Lebanese food. What a nice dish!
That was literally a meditation!!
I’m from Lebanon, never had Fattehz🙈 I will make mine soon! Vegetarian version though
Nachos! ;) Really, this sounds divine. I've never thought of mixing yoghurt and tahini before, but it sounds genius. Hah! I hadn't gotten to the end yet when I started writing this, but I just heard you liken it to nachos. Griiin. Great minds...appetites? Thanks!
Divine.
This looks amazing!!! 🤪 Will definitely be giving this a try. I wonder if there’s a good substitute for using Aleppo pepper?
The official recipe suggests paprika as an alternative.
My Mexican mind: “Lebanese nachos”
Nigella 3 seconds later: “a middle-eastern sophisticated version of nachos”
Omg,she is so beautiful
I've got to make that
It may seem sacrilegious to ask, but if I’m cooking this for a vegetarian can I swap the beef for minced quorn or similar. Or is that a big no-no? Thanks
Loooove it!
Amazing
Does anyone know where she got that wooden spoon from? I love it
made it today, it was delicious!
Beautifull my favorite chef oll time 💋💋❤️
Who’s here September 2020
Finest foodporn
Middle Eastern Nachos 😍
I made this for my family it was really good I used lamb yum
The "Bain Marie helmet" 03:34, where can I buy it?
I’ve got to try this Aleppo pepper.
Rachel D It's really lovely- if you have an Arab/ Middle Eastern shop near you, see if you can get it.
Amazon if your friend
It is delicious if you havent tried that.
I'm going to make this
Word translation: Aubergine = Eggplant in the USA, for anyone who didn't already know.
Are the ingredients and amounts listed anywhere? Would like something to start with, so I can adjust to taste!! Sauce sounds delightful!!!!
The link to the recipe is in the video description. It's easy to miss, though, because it's in the middle between several other links.
What kind of cookware is this?
I found it a little bland...I added raisins, nutmeg, allspice, chopped fresh tomatoes and garlic to the beef ..delicious!
If you want it to taste divine then add a tarka of hot ghee with slivered garlic and herbs of your choice.
I like her as her way of speaking is unique to her and none of this "[XYZ Ingredient] in!", "Take it to a whole new level/next level" phraseology that everyone from Ramsey, Oliver, Skehan et al seems to be using these days....
I think from now now I'm going to call the purple veggie an "aubergine" (sounds so lovely when Nigella says it), instead of the decidedly less appetizing-sounding "eggplant" lol
What song is at the background at 5:20?
Or the earlier song.
Cry me out by Pixie Lott
For the sauce add 1tbsp (mayonnaise,labna, and sour cream)
Believe this become super wow...
The for topics add some (sumaq)
It will give twisted tasted of everything...
Who would have thought pomegranate can also be referred as "jeweller clumps" 💖🙏
thems nachos 😎
I wish chests would start being a little bit more salt conscious especially when patrons visit their restaurants, that they have the ability to decrease the salt. I make something like this all the time and really decrease salt because of our health issues. Your tastes adapt and it is quite tasty without the copious amounts of salt.
chris that salt could kill a horse
Its large flake sea salt, much more is needed than table or kosher salt in order to season things properly.
I use himalayan rock salt and I am generous with it... poor quality salt I'd almost completely avoid. I think with salt, it makes a difference what you use.
