Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed this breakfast video. We'll definitely have videos for Zaatar, Fatayer, Khaleyat Nahl and Helba coming soon. Let me know what breakfast you want to see next, and if you have specific breakfast dishes you want to request!

We're hoping to film some on location videos in the new year, so your support will definitely help us with that.
My ex-husband is Palestinian and I lived with his family for a while. His mom had a garden and made everything from scratch. I often crave her cooking and miss eating at their home. The food during Ramadan was just mouthwatering. The first thing she taught me was how to make mint tea, it was extremely important to her ☺️ she is such a sweet woman! He and I divorced on good terms but I don’t live near them anymore so I decided to start making the food myself. I can’t wait-this looks delicious. We ate a lot of these dishes.
This brings back so many memories. I must admit I cried a little tear thinking about my aunt living in the West Bank when she would take me walking on the mountains collecting zaatar. As a boy growing up in Northern Europe those memories will always stay with me and I cant wait to see them again. Thank you for making this video ❤️
I hope you will continue talking and showing us about Palestina food to keep the Palestine culture and way of life alive. Well done. I can’t wait to try the recipes
I’m Mexican and we make potato and eggs the same way! We put them on a flour tortillas with green sauce or with beans on the side. Love your recipes! God bless Palestine 🇵🇸

I love this so much. So much nostalgia. Growing up, we always had a bowl of olive oil and another bowl of zaatar sitting on the kitchen table for everyone to snack on throughout the day. If you want to try Palestinian falafel, my grandma in Gaza used to make me the best falafel I've ever had. They're stuffed with onions and sumac, and we Gazans also like to add chillies to the mix. Some cook the onion stuffing beforehand some don't. I believe the sumac and onion stuffing is also eaten in Jerusalem.
Moments like 9:50 when you proclaim not having nailed a recipe is why I respect this channel immensely. Other content creators in the same situation would have put up their shitty version anyway or even claimed the bakery-bought product as their own.
This episode reminded me of something. When I was a child, there was a Turkish bakery down the street where I lived. It was totally unique for my Middle European city and for the time. I loved it. I especially loved the sesame bread rings and the flatbread. My mother loved the baklava and the quality of the olives they had. I remember the whole street smelling wonderful, because of this bakery. It was so disappointing when they closed. To this day Turkish Bakeries (there are so many now!) are a guilty pleasure that I can't resist.

Lovely to see Salma on screen, I know she puts in a lot of work off screen, but still brought a smile to my face. I love how your channel covers cuisines across so many cultures. Thank you, guys!

Yo. You guys are great. I'm a huge fan of middle-eastern food and you two are wonderful and delightful and have helped make my breakfasts and dinners wonderful and delightful as well. Keep these videos coming :) Thank you so much :)
A Palestinian friend shared zaatar with me before, but I didn't know the name so I started just getting thyme and other herb/spices to make my own. It's my go-to when I eat bread, but this will be so much easier knowing I can just buy the spice mix! The other dishes look so good, excited to try them myself!
There's a Lebanese place down the street from me that sells zaatar. Absolute game changer! The lemon-y taste of the sumac is what makes it for me. I absolutely can not live without it now.
A Palestinian friend of mine used to make tea like this. He used a special sage that his mom had to import for him, not the normal sage you get here in the grocery stores. Also he made it with a lot of sugar. It was super-delicious and really good for settling your stomach.
3:11 That Mferkeh is known in Germany as "Farmers Breakfast". Panfryed potatoes... with egg thrown over at the end. Sometimes there is bacon in it and onions as well, but the most basic version is potatoes and egg. We usually cook the potatoes using a steam method and then first use part of them as potato salad, and the leftover... gets fried next day.
I am here after reading, 'Tasting The Sky' by Ibtisam Barkat. And I am so glad to be here. The staple pantry and fresh produce of your cuisine has so much in common with the North Indian cuisine that I am totally motivated to try making these. Halba in India is called Halwa. It is made with ghee, semolina and sugar. Other variations include making sweet mashes with lentils, carrots, squashes. The savoury finger food version is steamed and tempered. It is called Dhokla and has a breakfast version called rava ( meaning semolina) idli ( rice cake).
Those spinach pies and those “pizzas” are some of my favorites - also so incredibly delicious! I grew up eating the Armenian sister versions of those so I’m VERY excited and looking forward to trying your recipe for those! I’ve been following your channel from the beginning and am very excited for all the recipes that you have in store!
I love Middle Eastern cuisine and can't thank you two enough for your amazing recipes and helpful videos. Do you have a recipe for Kousa bel laban or stuffed zucchini in yogurt sauce? Thanks
I love the wholesome representation that you guys create through this channel. As a Palestinian, it’s especially heartwarming that you are paying homage to our cuisine and history. 🙂🌏
Your videos are so informative. Through your channel, I have learned so much and can now appreciate the different regional variations in middle eastern cuisine. You guys are awesome
This is just, I loved watching this and learning something new about Palestinian cuisine, I'm definitely gonna try some of these delicacies, lots of love, from Algeria 💖✨
Just discovered you guys, all i can say is guys are absolutely awesome. Your teaching style, recipes and techniques are up there with the best. Love from Florida!
Your videos get me really excited about cooking! I love the clearly-delivered yet concise instruction. And seamless integration of the sponsorship LOL; that was so smooth. Doing dishes is the worst!
I love the egg and potato dish in Cyprus or Greece we call it “village omelette” and we also add sujuk but we cut them into discs. U have to try it with Sujuk (souzoukakia). For the zaata we just cool it mountain thyme or wild thyme
So so glad to have found this channel, as a Sri Lankan I have massive cravings for Middle Eastern foods and want to try them, everything looks soooo delicious I can't 🤤
I've just came across your channel and let me tell you, I love everything about your channel, thank you for the representation and for the content, I'll definitely recommend your recipes and your videos to literally everyone I know, cheers from Egypt 🇪🇬 ❤
Greetings from Southern California! I just realized a week or so ago that a local market carries an enormous array of international ingredients, so your channel is going to feature heavily in my next stage of culinary adventures! Many thanks!
Damnit obi, those spinach parcels look so good! I can't wait for the recipe video. Also obi, I'd love a Yemeni breakfast video. The yemeni shakshuka quite captured my imagination and I'd love to see what other food comes from that (rather obscure to rest-of-world) region!
Wow, salivating ! 🤤 Had always heard about and tasted Mediterranean cuisine but never specifically knew about Palestinian food ,, This is great, eagerly waiting to try them at the earliest 😋👍🏼
you should try tahina with date molasses (عسل التمر), it's a really common ingredient in Palestine and it's also amazing in baking or just as a sweetener instead of honey
Oh my God, my grandparents in Turkey made me some tahin with pekmez and eating it was mindblowing to me. I love sesame and the fact that so many East Asian and Middle Eastern countries combine it with everything.
Za’atar is my new favourite spice. I’m from a Pakistani background and the spices we use are more robust but za’atar is absolutely delicious. I bought Palestinian Za’atar too 👌
Oh my, oh my, oh my - I have just discovered your channel (from your mujaddara recipe), and I am soooo excited 😊 I will be binge watching your videos and I can't wait to get cooking - starting with some of your Palestinian breakfast dishes here. THANK YOU so much for sharing these recipes from the Middle East and long may you continue 🙏😁 What a great way to start 2024! Thank you again 🤗
Looking forward to your Fatayer and helbah cake recipes! 😋 I am also a fan of Patrick Rothfuss books btw! Did not expect to find my favorite book mentioned in a cooking channel... Oh, and thanks for adding the "vegan" label in the video thumbnails
I love how you explain all the food and how different countries do it.., it interests me to try. I haven't tried much Middle Eastern food but I was able to try cooking with Zaatar when I used to work in hotel industrial kitchen. It's very lovely lemony kick that I really crave. Hope I can cook with it again. Your channel is a great find! Blessings to you!!
Just discovered this channel. Fantastic! I never looked at Palestinian cuisine but through my very limited experience of Middle Eastern cuisine, I've been very intrigued. I am so gonna dive into this stuff.
Great video, I really enjoyed watching it, as usual. I will definitely be trying the “fool” next weekend 😋👌🏼 To Salma:dried sage is called maryamiya; derived from the Common name Maryam. A legend says a mother was saddened by her child’s illness & 1 night she had a dream of Lady Mary (Maryam peace be upon Her) telling her to cure her child with a particular plant that grows in the wilderness. When she woke up she went & got some & gave it to him and it cured him. And that’s how people in the Levantine region got to know this herb , started using it & gave it the name Maryamiya 😀
@@ESalma You’re not alone. Many people have a hard time pronouncing it. I hear it all the time. I had the same problem too until I read the story.. Glad I could help
Salma and you are such a wonderful team, very beautiful. I bet when the cam went off yall were enjoying the food so much that you didnt even realized and its just right like that
The za’atar is my favorite!! Just like Salma it is nostalgic to me , it was and still my favorite breakfast, used to get it from the bakery on my way to school 🏫 thank you both for bringing sweet memories to me this morning 🙏🏼
The egg and potatoes mixture also go very well when you combine mushrooms into the mix; I don't know if mushrooms are ever used in Middle Eastern cuisine but that's just something I do, melt in some cheese and your taste buds will be dancing.
Yes we are Palestinian and there's multiple variations of this recipe, one of them being mushrooms, another that includes sun-dried tomatoes, another that includes cheese, and lots & lots of garlic!
@@YourMajesty143 Moroccan shakshuka is another interesting version with all sorts of ingredients added, potatoes and cheese optional. Like many recipes, all it takes is imagination.
You two are delightful! Thank you for the mouthwatering dishes you've shared here, and also for your very thoughtful and helpful video editing choices. Both in this video and in the others!
I'll be eagerly awaiting your fatayer video! I've contemplated making it myself before but I always fall back on just getting it from the bakery. You always explain the method so well, I would definitely try your recipe. (especially if you make one with akkawi!)
I had a lot of Palestini friends in college and a few Jordanians. Since my elder brother had a sports shop they would all visit the shop for footballs and football shoes. I remember vividly the time they would come for the annual Gharvi prayers of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani of Baghdad Sharif. After all these years I do not know where they are but one persons elder brother was working in Kuwait Islamic Bank.
Lovely video as always! PS: مرمرية / marmareya is a very Egyptian way of spelling sage.. I used to do it until a Palestinian friend corrected me saying it's مرميّة / marameyya with a stress on the y ;)
my eyes were full of tears when i laid an eye on this video... once i wanted to make photos and eyes for my friends and when they saw my i was about to mix the 2 they stopped me !!! so made some for them separated and some for me mixed. they tried the mixed one i made for myself then they didn't touch the one i made for them and they always kept asking me to make the potatoes and eyes for breakfast
I don't like the traditional breakfast where I live (eggs, sausage, toast, pancakes, etc), so I like to look around to see what other cultures eat for breakfast. This spread looks absolutely delicious! I'm gonna have to try this soon!
@@EvalynRoberts I’m from Palestine and live in USA. Palestine definitely has better dishes. It’s the land of milk and honey. The fruits and vegetables are amazing , organic.
This is pretty good. You missed a few item from the Palestinian breakfast, mainly the Labaneh, the Nabulsi Cheese (Palestinian white cheese), and the black olives.
Yes we were going to serve labneh, but didn't like the one we found. We also couldn't find Nabulsi cheese. We want to do a full video on Labneh sometime in the future, how to make it, serve it and use it.
@@MiddleEats Just make the labneh yourself, it's real easy and not too messy. Store bought labneh isn't worth the price, and you'll nail the recipe in like two tries for sure. My sister's tip for making labneh is - salt the yogurt until it tastes like amazing ayran, at that point it's ready for straining. Also she taught me there's no need to hang the cheesecloth if there's no convenient way to do it, just put the tightened bundle in a colander over a large pot (about 2-3 times the volume of the yogurt) and empty the pot after 1-2 hours before you go to bed. Within 2 hours about half of the water comes out so you can make sure the pot doesn't overflow.
I've been making Mferkeh ever since I can remember, and had no idea it is a Palestinian dish, or what it is called; I just called it fried potatoes and eggs! I sometimes put garlic in with it, just before adding the eggs, or onions too, just as the potatoes are beginning to turn golden. And always plenty of salt and pepper (and sometimesa pinch of cayenne especially in the colder months). Are these or any other extra ingredients something that's ever added to this dish in traditional Palestinian cuisine? I hadn't made it for a few years and was surprised and happy to see this nostalgic dish from my childhood on your video. I made it last night and my son absolutely loved it. Thank you for all your fabulous recipes. You truly are the number one UA-cam cookery channel ☺️
Palestinians always mesmerize us with thier rich culture ..music ,food,clothes like kofia , the olive oil soap ..etc...an endless mixture of wonders ...no wonder why God had called it the promis land ..once upon time ❤ from Germany
OMG! They all look fabulous! I’m Lebanese and I make most of what you just demonstrated with some slight differences. It’s evening now in California and I was planning on having zaatar on a slice of bread and put in the oven until it’s brown with some fresh mint (naanaah) and tomatoes on the side and Lebni after watching your video. I also make appetizers with zaatar (zaatar, finely chopped tomatoes, garlic, feta cheese and chopped fresh mint. Mix them together with some olive oil. Oh, do I love Palestinian food! God bless you, nice couple.
I just discovered this channel and it's lovely. And Obi's voice is wonderful. I can't believe I hadn't seen this channel before. I definitely want to make a few of these dishes. Thank you for teaching us more about Palestinian food... Now I have to explore more of your videos.
Every time I see that you're cooking with Ful, I want to thank you for your sacrifice because I know you don't like it that much. I personally am not that crazy about chickpeas but maybe I haven't had the right recipe.
Your patience is commendable with so much mouth watering food on the table I would not be able to resist to dig right in and there you two patiently explaining each dish :) I wish I were a cook and had all these ingredients available at my place I love middle eastern food my favorite actually but unless I am traveling can't eat on a side note the lady has such a sweet smile 😇
It’s funny how we use Ahmad tea to make our tea which is from the UK and British people when they want to make Arabic tea they use an Arabic tea brand not knowing that the most popular tea here is Ahmad tea 😅
I've had that helbah cake before and oh, wow, it is so delicious, with flavors totally unfamiliar to most Americans. I never knew what it was called, but recognize it here. I cannot wait to track some down, or find a recipe. Thank you for this. It all looks delicious.
Pretty sure we call sage ميرمية not مرمرية With the zaatar, we usually have a little bowl for the oil and one for the raatar separately, dip the bread in oil then the dry zaatar. Never really mixed them in one bowl, if we did it would change the flavour over time with the olive oil drawing out the oils from the spices, so we'd have to eat it then and there and can't just put it away if some is left over.
Interesting, I grew up eating it like you said, dipping in oil then the zaatar. Recently I've seen a lot of people mixing the two, and that's usually how it's done for manakish too. Would putting the leftover zaatar away make the rest spoil once it has been touched by oily bread?
Now you’re just being picky when Obi and Salma put their channel on the line to represent us. Most Arab content creators ban the word “Palestine” from their channels because they don’t want to lose views and sponsors. Every one eats differently, it’s like criticizing what dishes someone put next to each other on their plate.
Good suggestion to keep the olive oil and zaatar separate. It makes sense. In my home we mix the two, but we never have a problem with leftovers because there never are any leftovers. It all gets eaten, ha ha. 🙂
I made a few of these and shared a video on Tik Tok as solidarity for a #freepalestine . I wanted to tag you but all I saw were some accounts with your name that looked fake. That tomato salsa thing was so good- brought out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes 😋😋😋😋😋
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed this breakfast video. We'll definitely have videos for Zaatar, Fatayer, Khaleyat Nahl and Helba coming soon.

I am a Southwestern US person from Colorado. This food is surprisingly similar to many dishes we prepare. This looks delicious.

A Palestinian friend shared zaatar with me before, but I didn't know the name so I started just getting thyme and other herb/spices to make my own. It's my go-to when I eat bread, but this will be so much easier knowing I can just buy the spice mix! The other dishes look so good, excited to try them myself!
There's a Lebanese place down the street from me that sells zaatar. Absolute game changer! The lemon-y taste of the sumac is what makes it for me. I absolutely can not live without it now.
Definitely going give this one a shot for my partners birthday. Would love to see an Iranian Breakfast
Iranian breakfast sounds great. I will for sure do some research!
Me too!
@@MiddleEats yes and Iraqi too please!!! Loving all these videos!
A Palestinian friend of mine used to make tea like this. He used a special sage that his mom had to import for him, not the normal sage you get here in the grocery stores. Also he made it with a lot of sugar. It was super-delicious and really good for settling your stomach.
شكرا لكم على هذا الفيديو الجميل وتجربة الافطار الفلسطيني ❤❤ الحرية لفلسطين 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Lol 😂
3:11 That Mferkeh is known in Germany as "Farmers Breakfast". Panfryed potatoes... with egg thrown over at the end. Sometimes there is bacon in it and onions as well, but the most basic version is potatoes and egg. We usually cook the potatoes using a steam method and then first use part of them as potato salad, and the leftover... gets fried next day.
Bravo à vous et continuer à nous faire connaître la cuisine PALESTINIENNE.
I am here after reading, 'Tasting The Sky' by Ibtisam Barkat. And I am so glad to be here. The staple pantry and fresh produce of your cuisine has so much in common with the North Indian cuisine that I am totally motivated to try making these.
Halba in India is called Halwa. It is made with ghee, semolina and sugar. Other variations include making sweet mashes with lentils, carrots, squashes. The savoury finger food version is steamed and tempered. It is called Dhokla and has a breakfast version called rava ( meaning semolina) idli ( rice cake).
Those spinach pies and those “pizzas” are some of my favorites - also so incredibly delicious! I grew up eating the Armenian sister versions of those so I’m VERY excited and looking forward to trying your recipe for those! I’ve been following your channel from the beginning and am very excited for all the recipes that you have in store!
looks beautiful and delicious x thank you so much for sharing so much beautiful Palestinian cuisine and culture!
I love Middle Eastern cuisine and can't thank you two enough for your amazing recipes and helpful videos. Do you have a recipe for Kousa bel laban or stuffed zucchini in yogurt sauce? Thanks
Not yet, sometime in the future I hope
I love the wholesome representation that you guys create through this channel. As a Palestinian, it’s especially heartwarming that you are paying homage to our cuisine and history. 🙂🌏
Your videos are so informative. Through your channel, I have learned so much and can now appreciate the different regional variations in middle eastern cuisine. You guys are awesome
This is just, I loved watching this and learning something new about Palestinian cuisine, I'm definitely gonna try some of these delicacies, lots of love, from Algeria 💖✨
I love this format where you two are just conversating, it's so engaging.
Just discovered you guys, all i can say is guys are absolutely awesome. Your teaching style, recipes and techniques are up there with the best. Love from Florida!
Your videos get me really excited about cooking! I love the clearly-delivered yet concise instruction. And seamless integration of the sponsorship LOL; that was so smooth. Doing dishes is the worst!
I loved when my neighbor made sage tea. Her kids would ask for it, especially when they were getting coughs.
I love the egg and potato dish in Cyprus or Greece we call it “village omelette” and we also add sujuk but we cut them into discs. U have to try it with Sujuk (souzoukakia). For the zaata we just cool it mountain thyme or wild thyme
So so glad to have found this channel, as a Sri Lankan I have massive cravings for Middle Eastern foods and want to try them, everything looks soooo delicious I can't 🤤
I've just came across your channel and let me tell you, I love everything about your channel, thank you for the representation and for the content, I'll definitely recommend your recipes and your videos to literally everyone I know, cheers from Egypt 🇪🇬 ❤
I have been looking for a channel like this forever☺️ thank you!!!🇪🇬🇺🇸
Greetings from Southern California! I just realized a week or so ago that a local market carries an enormous array of international ingredients, so your channel is going to feature heavily in my next stage of culinary adventures! Many thanks!
Damnit obi, those spinach parcels look so good! I can't wait for the recipe video.
Also obi, I'd love a Yemeni breakfast video. The yemeni shakshuka quite captured my imagination and I'd love to see what other food comes from that (rather obscure to rest-of-world) region!
I love the food you cook and how friendly and natural you are explaining everything!
Based furry
Wow, salivating ! 🤤
Had always heard about and tasted Mediterranean cuisine but never specifically knew about Palestinian food ,,
This is great, eagerly waiting to try them at the earliest 😋👍🏼
Thank you so much for your videos. I have already tried some of them, and they turned out great! Definitely wanna see more palestinian recipes 😀
you should try tahina with date molasses (عسل التمر), it's a really common ingredient in Palestine and it's also amazing in baking or just as a sweetener instead of honey
Oh my God, my grandparents in Turkey made me some tahin with pekmez and eating it was mindblowing to me. I love sesame and the fact that so many East Asian and Middle Eastern countries combine it with everything.
I’m South American and have never tried Palestinian food, I will try to make it one day inshaAllah
Za’atar is my new favourite spice. I’m from a Pakistani background and the spices we use are more robust but za’atar is absolutely delicious.
I bought Palestinian Za’atar too 👌
Oh my, oh my, oh my - I have just discovered your channel (from your mujaddara recipe), and I am soooo excited 😊 I will be binge watching your videos and I can't wait to get cooking - starting with some of your Palestinian breakfast dishes here. THANK YOU so much for sharing these recipes from the Middle East and long may you continue 🙏😁
What a great way to start 2024! Thank you again 🤗
Looking forward to your Fatayer and helbah cake recipes! 😋 I am also a fan of Patrick Rothfuss books btw! Did not expect to find my favorite book mentioned in a cooking channel... Oh, and thanks for adding the "vegan" label in the video thumbnails
New sub! As an Iraqi kurdish support you from UK and well done for making so many middle eastern food they're very delicious 😋👏
I love how you explain all the food and how different countries do it.., it interests me to try. I haven't tried much Middle Eastern food but I was able to try cooking with Zaatar when I used to work in hotel industrial kitchen. It's very lovely lemony kick that I really crave. Hope I can cook with it again. Your channel is a great find! Blessings to you!!
Just discovered this channel. Fantastic! I never looked at Palestinian cuisine but through my very limited experience of Middle Eastern cuisine, I've been very intrigued. I am so gonna dive into this stuff.
Great video, I really enjoyed watching it, as usual. I will definitely be trying the “fool” next weekend 😋👌🏼
To Salma:dried sage is called maryamiya; derived from the Common name Maryam. A legend says a mother was saddened by her child’s illness & 1 night she had a dream of Lady Mary (Maryam peace be upon Her) telling her to cure her child with a particular plant that grows in the wilderness. When she woke up she went & got some & gave it to him and it cured him. And that’s how people in the Levantine region got to know this herb , started using it & gave it the name Maryamiya 😀
I always mispronounce the word not sure why😅, but after this explanation I think it'll stick. Thank you!
@@ESalma You’re not alone. Many people have a hard time pronouncing it. I hear it all the time. I had the same problem too until I read the story.. Glad I could help
Salma and you are such a wonderful team, very beautiful. I bet when the cam went off yall were enjoying the food so much that you didnt even realized and its just right like that
Haha that's exactly what happened!
Palestinian dishes are really delicious .I am proud of everything related to our amazing Palestine .
Breakfast is my favorite meal! I love these videos. Would love Turkish, Lebanese and Moroccan breakfasts. Thank you for sharing.
These are all the things I grew up with! My Father is from the West Bank and brought all these recipes with him. Thanks for sharing this!
Name of the Wind is so good!! Also love your videos and how many amazing plant based & delicious recipes you provide :)
It absolutely is, I just wish he'd hurry up and release the next book. It has been way too long
The za’atar is my favorite!! Just like Salma it is nostalgic to me , it was and still my favorite breakfast, used to get it from the bakery on my way to school 🏫 thank you both for bringing sweet memories to me this morning 🙏🏼
The egg and potatoes mixture also go very well when you combine mushrooms into the mix; I don't know if mushrooms are ever used in Middle Eastern cuisine but that's just something I do, melt in some cheese and your taste buds will be dancing.
Yes we are Palestinian and there's multiple variations of this recipe, one of them being mushrooms, another that includes sun-dried tomatoes, another that includes cheese, and lots & lots of garlic!
@@YourMajesty143 Moroccan shakshuka is another interesting version with all sorts of ingredients added, potatoes and cheese optional. Like many recipes, all it takes is imagination.
You two are delightful! Thank you for the mouthwatering dishes you've shared here, and also for your very thoughtful and helpful video editing choices. Both in this video and in the others!
I'll be eagerly awaiting your fatayer video! I've contemplated making it myself before but I always fall back on just getting it from the bakery. You always explain the method so well, I would definitely try your recipe. (especially if you make one with akkawi!)
I had a lot of Palestini friends in college and a few Jordanians. Since my elder brother had a sports shop they would all visit the shop for footballs and football shoes. I remember vividly the time they would come for the annual Gharvi prayers of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani of Baghdad Sharif. After all these years I do not know where they are but one persons elder brother was working in Kuwait Islamic Bank.
Lovely video as always!
PS: مرمرية / marmareya is a very Egyptian way of spelling sage.. I used to do it until a Palestinian friend corrected me saying it's مرميّة / marameyya with a stress on the y ;)
ميرميه* meramia/merameih
You are like the best food friend I never had, never asked for, don't deserve but have always needed. Thanks for this channel!
Just stumbled across this channel, love it!! Thank you so much for your recipes, I'll be making your lentil fatteh tonight!
Amazing, I hope you enjoy it!
my eyes were full of tears when i laid an eye on this video... once i wanted to make photos and eyes for my friends and when they saw my i was about to mix the 2 they stopped me !!! so made some for them separated and some for me mixed. they tried the mixed one i made for myself then they didn't touch the one i made for them and they always kept asking me to make the potatoes and eyes for breakfast
How sophisticated the Palestinian cuisine is and other shami food
I liked how you linked the ad to the washing dishes situation. Smart and honest.
The dessert that was cut into a diamond shape looked so delicious. Thanks for sharing 😊
Oh Yum! Middle Eastern cuisine is my very favourite - I could eat all your food morning, noon and night.Thank you both.
Wow this all looks incredible! Definitely want the "spinach parcel" recipe 😋
I don't like the traditional breakfast where I live (eggs, sausage, toast, pancakes, etc), so I like to look around to see what other cultures eat for breakfast. This spread looks absolutely delicious! I'm gonna have to try this soon!
@@EvalynRoberts I’m from Palestine and live in USA. Palestine definitely has better dishes. It’s the land of milk and honey. The fruits and vegetables are amazing , organic.
This is pretty good. You missed a few item from the Palestinian breakfast, mainly the Labaneh, the Nabulsi Cheese (Palestinian white cheese), and the black olives.
Yes we were going to serve labneh, but didn't like the one we found. We also couldn't find Nabulsi cheese. We want to do a full video on Labneh sometime in the future, how to make it, serve it and use it.
@@MiddleEats Just make the labneh yourself, it's real easy and not too messy. Store bought labneh isn't worth the price, and you'll nail the recipe in like two tries for sure.
My sister's tip for making labneh is - salt the yogurt until it tastes like amazing ayran, at that point it's ready for straining.
Also she taught me there's no need to hang the cheesecloth if there's no convenient way to do it, just put the tightened bundle in a colander over a large pot (about 2-3 times the volume of the yogurt) and empty the pot after 1-2 hours before you go to bed. Within 2 hours about half of the water comes out so you can make sure the pot doesn't overflow.
I've been making Mferkeh ever since I can remember, and had no idea it is a Palestinian dish, or what it is called; I just called it fried potatoes and eggs! I sometimes put garlic in with it, just before adding the eggs, or onions too, just as the potatoes are beginning to turn golden. And always plenty of salt and pepper (and sometimesa pinch of cayenne especially in the colder months). Are these or any other extra ingredients something that's ever added to this dish in traditional Palestinian cuisine?
I hadn't made it for a few years and was surprised and happy to see this nostalgic dish from my childhood on your video. I made it last night and my son absolutely loved it.
Thank you for all your fabulous recipes. You truly are the number one UA-cam cookery channel ☺️
Palestinians always mesmerize us with thier rich culture ..music ,food,clothes like kofia , the olive oil soap ..etc...an endless mixture of wonders ...no wonder why God had called it the promis land ..once upon time
❤ from Germany
OMG! They all look fabulous! I’m Lebanese and I make most of what you just demonstrated with some slight differences. It’s evening now in California and I was planning on having zaatar on a slice of bread and put in the oven until it’s brown with some fresh mint (naanaah) and tomatoes on the side and Lebni after watching your video. I also make appetizers with zaatar (zaatar, finely chopped tomatoes, garlic, feta cheese and chopped fresh mint. Mix them together with some olive oil. Oh, do I love Palestinian food! God bless you, nice couple.
The production of these videos is fantastic . Thankyou for showing us these beautiful foods
I just discovered this channel and it's lovely. And Obi's voice is wonderful. I can't believe I hadn't seen this channel before. I definitely want to make a few of these dishes. Thank you for teaching us more about Palestinian food... Now I have to explore more of your videos.
Every time I see that you're cooking with Ful, I want to thank you for your sacrifice because I know you don't like it that much. I personally am not that crazy about chickpeas but maybe I haven't had the right recipe.
Haha glad you remember. I've got better with Ful, but I don't think I'll ever crave it.
I learnt to make this food for myself absolutely love it
That was paying homage for Palestine , at least, this is how I felt. Thanks a million 💕
New sub for being so honest and great cuisine. Sadly I won't be making most of these as I live with 2 fussy eaters but really enjoy the content.
This looks so good! Will definitely be trying a bunch of these recipes.
Your patience is commendable with so much mouth watering food on the table I would not be able to resist to dig right in and there you two patiently explaining each dish :) I wish I were a cook and had all these ingredients available at my place I love middle eastern food my favorite actually but unless I am traveling can't eat on a side note the lady has such a sweet smile 😇
It’s funny how we use Ahmad tea to make our tea which is from the UK and British people when they want to make Arabic tea they use an Arabic tea brand not knowing that the most popular tea here is Ahmad tea 😅
I've had that helbah cake before and oh, wow, it is so delicious, with flavors totally unfamiliar to most Americans. I never knew what it was called, but recognize it here. I cannot wait to track some down, or find a recipe. Thank you for this. It all looks delicious.
Thanks so much for sharing Palestinian food and culture. Free Palestine. 🇸🇩
This made me so hungry and home sick! Good memories of my grandparents and the middle eastern food I grew up with. Thank you
Pretty sure we call sage ميرمية not مرمرية
With the zaatar, we usually have a little bowl for the oil and one for the raatar separately, dip the bread in oil then the dry zaatar. Never really mixed them in one bowl, if we did it would change the flavour over time with the olive oil drawing out the oils from the spices, so we'd have to eat it then and there and can't just put it away if some is left over.
You're right! Definitely a mistake on my end. I always confuse both words 🙈.
Interesting, I grew up eating it like you said, dipping in oil then the zaatar. Recently I've seen a lot of people mixing the two, and that's usually how it's done for manakish too.
Would putting the leftover zaatar away make the rest spoil once it has been touched by oily bread?
Now you’re just being picky when Obi and Salma put their channel on the line to represent us. Most Arab content creators ban the word “Palestine” from their channels because they don’t want to lose views and sponsors. Every one eats differently, it’s like criticizing what dishes someone put next to each other on their plate.
I don't think they are criticizing, just explaining the pronunciation. We did mean to say it the way they wrote, but we forgot the pronunciation
Good suggestion to keep the olive oil and zaatar separate. It makes sense. In my home we mix the two, but we never have a problem with leftovers because there never are any leftovers. It all gets eaten, ha ha. 🙂
Thank you so much for highlighting Palestinian food.
I made a few of these and shared a video on Tik Tok as solidarity for a #freepalestine . I wanted to tag you but all I saw were some accounts with your name that looked fake. That tomato salsa thing was so good- brought out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes 😋😋😋😋😋
I love having Spotify for when I'm washing dishes. Wonderful video! ☺️
