Kitchen: Traditional Dishes


Mansaf

Each country has its national dish, which it is famous for. Jordan has a certain dish that is fantastic and extremely yummy, the Mansaf. What makes this dish special is the white sauce it is mainly made of, salted dried goat milk “Jameed”.
Jordanians are well known for their hospitality, and the Mansaf plays a big part in the hosting of guests. It is served in a big round tray, and people eat it using their bare hands, this might sound uncivilized, but it is not, it is actually part of the Jordanian tradition
which has been a characteristic of Jordanian history for years on end.

Mansaf has three basic ingredients; rice, lamb meat and goat milk.

Tunisian couscous

A friend from Canada has been wondering why I have been submitting western recipes only, and asked for some Arabic food … well, your wish is my command my friend … today’s recipe is from North Africa, particularly Tunisia. It is the national dish in most of North Africa and it is called Couscous.
You can make the couscous with lambs meat, chicken, fish or even just vegetables.
