You are an expert at showing us TEXTURES. Creamy, crunchy, smooth, lumpy- whatever. You always take time to shownus, and even let us HEAR TEXTURE. This is so helpful and I havent seen anyone else do it as well and intentionally as you do.
Trust me, I had no damn idea about the food culture of Middle East and you literally have changed my perspective.. I'm addicted to watching and cooking, all your dishes❤️
@@MiddleEats and also that, your sarcasm..! I never thought, people in Middle East can be so fun; such a great amalgamation of food and culture..🙏 all the love and wishes🌼
Love these as I'm not used to seeing Middle Eastern food recipes as often on UA-cam. Well done and congratulations to you for your channel's milestones.
You are so easy to listen to, well spoken and paced, logical in procedure, clear in expression, and pleasant in telling us some of the history of your offerings. Thank you for opening the doors to a new and delicious world, Obi!
Just made this and am eating it now. Oh my wow, this is the best! You know when there’s a plate of food and you know you’re gonna be sad when it’s all gone? This dish is one of those. Thank you so much for teaching us!!
I am a HuGE fan of middle estern cusine. I grew up eating some of these food when I was a child. But i struggled to find the exact recipe because most of the food shows were broadcasted in Arabic. Now I can make them. Wow ! Brings back so many memories. Keep going !
Thank you for the “Fatteh“ recipe. I am from Mexico and I love Middle Eastern food. I’ll be looking forward to more of your recipes in the future. Take care!
There's a few more steps needed to get super smooth hummus, and I am aiming to cover it all in a future video, with an A-Z on how to get the best hummus at home. Stay tuned for it.
This is such a great channel! I am learning so much on middle-eastern food and am impressed with its ingenuity and simplicity. Thank you for your work!
I haven't tried a single on of your recipes that wasn't absolutely delicious and easy to follow, you deserve every single sub for making this food accessible to people at home. Cheers to many more!
Thanks a lot! I tried to find this recipe many years! I tried ones in Damascus and I can't forget it! I live in Lebanon, but no one knows about this fatte
As a syrian who loves this dish, I suggest adding pomegranate seeds on top of the fatteh or using pomegranate molases, and serve it with a side of cucumber pickles, spicy pepper pickles, or any type of pickles that you prefer. And most importantly a cup of sweet black tea!
I am so glad that I found your channel! Your videos are so well produced and everything looks delicious. I like that you include alternative ways of making the dish for vegans, for a healthier alternative, etc. Its so professional! thank you!!
I always use your recipes for Middle Eastern dishes and appreciate the vegan tips! I use your recipes whenever I cook Middle Eastern dishes and often make the vegan alterations myself, because I know your recipes are not only legitimate, but designed with care :) Thank you so much!
Just made it, showed a picture of it to a Syrian friend of mine. He thought I ordered it at a restaurant, so seems like your recipe is on point!! 😂 It tasted amazing, thanks for this awesome dish Obi!!!
Your channel is absolutely amazing! I've been looking forever for authentic and easy Egyptian recipes, but couldn't find them anywhere. Only your recipes have the original and authentic Egyptian taste just like i remember it from my time in Cairo (and you even provide alternative ingredients)! Keep it up!
Wonderful! I will make a version of this for New Year, adjusted to what is available here in rural Croatia. I grew up with the flavours and smells of Middle Eastern food ... in Sweden ... and I miss it so. There are no pine nuts where I live (strange, I know) and no pitta. I know how to make my own, but I don't have time or strength for it now, so forgive me for the wheat tortillas I will use. The pine nuts ... hm ... almonds? No. Toasted sunflower seeds. I'm kind of broke, but sunflower seeds are cheap and toasted they add a really nice flavour. Thank you!
I'm quite lucky to have a Middle Eastern grocer nearby, but your substitutions makes sense! Pine nuts are relatively unheard of here, so I would definitely use sunflower seeds or peanuts to replace them. Bread is bread and stale ones are best consumed as croutons or bread pudding regardless.
I just recently discovered your channel and I'm so excited to see it grow. Q. Tell us about your heritage and how you learned about middle eastern food.
Hey Obi, I've been recently thinking of making it and here it is, thank you for your masterful recipe! Please note that the timestamps are wrong and are intended for the Kahk el Aid! Cheers
You’re gonna have 500,000 before you know it!!! Love every video! Would love more mezze videos and dips and sauces and baklawas and everything else! Haha thanks for all the hard work and constant great well explained delicious recipes! Much love from NYC 🤙🏼
Thank you Levi! Absoloutely, there is so much I want to cover, I just can't find the time to do it all. Definitely going to be doing more mezze, dips and sauces this summer!
What an unusual recipe. I love hummus as a dip. The idea that it can be a meal sounds filling and delicious. And I love it’s simplicity. I’ll be making this for breakfast soon. 😊
ah damn. Best 2 cuisines i know are authentic chinese and arab. I was cooking chinese cooking demystified videos for a while now and now i also found a channel for arab food. Just. Great.
So delighted that this channel is getting the recognition it deserves! Now to my Q+A question: How are Middle eastern feasts composed (say if you have guests over)? Do you have such a thing as starters/main/desserts like we do in the UK? Are there components that are generally a must (like a sidesalad, rice or flatbreads)?
Oh amazing question, and also this is something I could do a whole video about. I'll try cover this, but it might need more than a few minutes to explain. Let me see if I can find some photos for this too!
I know I’m 6 months late to publication of this video but I have got to say that this channel is one of my absolute new favorites! Well done and thank you for introducing me to more glorious cuisine!
breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. im going to try this one day. and Foul. I request for you to make a Foul video. saw a guy in lebanon make Foul and i want to try it.
Wow, I've never wanted to eat something from a video sooooo badly. Yum!! I'm definitely making this. Creamy chickpeas and crunchy flat bread are a combo made in heaven 🤤
Again, a great clip! I'm going to try it later, but I quickly have to get some Chickpeas, because I forgot them (of course) the other day... Thank you so much for your great clips and for your help...

As a vegan, I love that so many of your recipes are vegetarian and/or easily veganized. Thank upu!
As a professional chef I like to look for inspiration and educate myself about other cultures foods. You are one of my sources, please keep going
Thank you for the “Fatteh“ recipe. I am from Mexico and I love Middle Eastern food. I’ll be looking forward to more of your recipes in the future. Take care!
First and last time I made hummus I used canned chick peas and the recipe didn't have me boil them. Now I get it, thanks!

Thanks David! Hope I can one day do this full time.
Amazing channel
@@MiddleEats Is Aleppo pepper still being produced in Aleppo?
in my region (from syria) we put meat in it and load of parsley :) great to see other variations!
This channel is a gold mine! Thank you for making these videos!
Now THAT’S a protein-rich cereal bowl for breakfast!
Oh absolutely, and so filling too!
Thank you for your clear and no fuss demonstrations. I can't wait to make this as soon as. Love all the recipes
I haven't tried a single on of your recipes that wasn't absolutely delicious and easy to follow, you deserve every single sub for making this food accessible to people at home. Cheers to many more!
Thank you for helping me visualize what I’m making today from a cook book.
Thank you for always telling me how to make your delicious dishes vegan!! Keep ut the excellent work!! You are an inspiration 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks a lot! I tried to find this recipe many years! I tried ones in Damascus and I can't forget it! I live in Lebanon, but no one knows about this fatte

Every. single. thing. we've made from your recipes has been outrageously delicious!
Just made it, showed a picture of it to a Syrian friend of mine. He thought I ordered it at a restaurant, so seems like your recipe is on point!! 😂
It tasted amazing, thanks for this awesome dish Obi!!!
Just magnificent as always! Such a huge fan of your channel. You deserve all your success as completely as anyone.
Fan from Texas enjoying your channel.
Same here!
I've seen a lot of people try to present traditional middle eastern recipes but none are as authentic as you are.
Congrats on reaching 50k!!
Thank you!
Your channel is absolutely amazing! I've been looking forever for authentic and easy Egyptian recipes, but couldn't find them anywhere. Only your recipes have the original and authentic Egyptian taste just like i remember it from my time in Cairo (and you even provide alternative ingredients)! Keep it up!
Thank you, that's exactly what I am going for. Glad you like them!
Fatteh is a dish that has to be eaten immediately and with a group! Love it but not had it for years 😭
Oh absolutely, warm and while the bread is still crunchy! Hope you try the recipe out. You could make a smaller batch.
Thanks for recipe! Will love to try
This with eggplant is one of my favorite dishes! I make a batch once a week. Each time it gets a little bit better. So yummy.
absolutely amazing stuff! I know next to nothing about middle eastern foods so this is a real treat.
Wonderful! I will make a version of this for New Year, adjusted to what is available here in rural Croatia.

I mix top my hummus with what I have. Tomatoes, jalapeños, olives, boiled egg, .And I like the stale pita bread concept.
Great receipe. Thank you for sharing. Looks delicious.
It might look plain, but it is one of my favorite dishes.
I Learn so much from your channel. Thanks man. Love from Vietnam
