The filling of meat, pine nuts and caramelised onions is a great memory. The shop, by the way, is Green Valley, off the Edgeware Road in London. Thank you.

Normally served with "fatte" which is baked pita bread broken to pieces with some chicken broth, add yogurt over it (in a layer) and add some fried pine nuts with a sprinkle of 7 spices

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

Traditionally people like to use the broth that they cook the chicken in as soup. But this is a whole dish on its own. You can pair it with a nice salad.
