Maglobeh with chicken & eggplant
Magloubeh is one of Jordanians and Palestinians favorite dishes where it should be repeated on a weekly basis. It is an upside down dish, where it has rice, fried vegetables (cauliflower or eggplant, and potato and carrots), with chicken or lamb meat. It is layered in the cooking casserole and cooked together. The first layer would be the meat/chicken, then the fried vegetables then the spiced rice. All are cooked with the soup of chicken/meat. Then served over the big metallic plate. It is eaten with some green salad and/or yogurt.
Each house does its Magloubeh differently but the main ingredients and way of cooking are one. The challenge always is to be able to have perfect one piece of Magloubeh after it is served on the big plate like you see in the above picture.
Where will you be hosted for this meal?
Amman, typical average Ammani neighborhood, where Jordanians live. A very local residential area. At a family house where our host (mother / grandmother) will be cooking traditional meals according to authentic and traditional methods. The experience you will get is an authentic traditional meal prepared by a mother who picks all the ingredients by herself and who knows what should be an authentic taste for a traditional dish should be.
