How to make Palestinian Fattoush: KING of Salads- with my Mama | Sahtein!

My gift for you today is the iconic Fattoush! Also... say hi to Mama 👑 Fattoush is one of the greatest salads of all time. The flavors are BOLD, the textures are just right, and you could eat endless bowls of it. It is universally loved across the Levant and the whole world, and sparks so much joy. Every household makes it in their own way, so this is my Sitto's recipe! 🥗 We shot this video at the end of the summer together, and I am so excited to share it with you. We hope you enjoy... and Sahtein ✌️

I am thinking of Palestine right now. I hope you and your friends and family are safe, and I love your recipe videos!

[@Muslimah1987]

Came here to see you and your lovely mum, all our hearts are with Palestine right now, I hope you're doing okay habibti. So much love to you and family

[@giselaswaragita1326]

Can we appreciate how clean and glowing her skin is?????

[@misstle7]

I'm learning Arabic and hearing your mum speak while reading the subtitles is such a great exercise, Levantine Arabic is so beautiful! Also, I bought sumac a while ago and didn't know what to use it for. I'm making fattoush tomorrow!

[@Optimist788]

My family is from Northern India(Lucknow) but we trace our roots back to Palestine. The dishes and ingredients are so familiar to me. Purslane is something my parents and their friends spoke of with fondness not only for its flavor but mostly for its health benefits. I ordered seeds to grow as well. I grow chives throughout my garden and herbs are a must. TYFS, stay safe and healthy everyone ❤️

[@ayeshaabdullatif7209]

How so?

[@janettefantini8997]

I’m watching your videos to improve my Arabic, feels like home! My grandma comes from Lebanon, my grandfather was Palestinian and my mom grew up in Jordan! Hugs to you and your mom

[@3esh7orran]

... all that areas was in fact one area. For me they are still one area despite occupations-made-border... 🙋

[@Ahmed-pf3lg]

@@3esh7orran Bilad Al Sham. However a huge part of Syria and Jordan aren’t originally part of “Al Sham”, because they’re made of the Syrian Desert. But yeah those countries are very similar. Then you have Iraq as a separate area, also Yemen as a separate area. Hejaz on the west cost of the Arabian Peninsula. Khaleej on the east coast. The centre is Najd and an extension of the Syrian desert until it reaches Al Rub’ Al Khali desert. These are the ancient areas were Arabs originally lived.

[@garymmx]

Love the dipping on and out of languages. Also how clearly mum's still in charge.

[@garymmx]

Actually even more than that, what you make is my kind of food.

[@NadiaGilbert]

The funniest part is before we got on camera she told me she would be talking less and let me lead because she was camera shy, as soon as the camera went on she went into full host mode. It made me so happy :)

Your mom is so sweet. Lots of love from Kurdistan.

[@fleshmoreblood]

Where is that 👁👁👁

[@Kepler2110]

We also have purslane in Greece!! 😍 Growing it is a brilliant idea! Absolutely love how liberally your mama adds the olive oil. Just as it should be 😘

[@georgecostanza9213]

I used to work for an Armenian guy in Chicago at the casbah cafe. And he had muhammara and that was one of my favorite things ever. Fattoush salad hommous and muhammara and some rice. Man I am hungry now. Glad I found your channel today.

[@vannakinder352]

what about babu's food?

[@SB-ok1hi]

I love how she really appreciates and respects every ingredient ✨Same reason why I love watching your videos. BarakAllah feekum 🌹

[@Sanj103]

Huge Palestinian community here in the Chicago area! Can you make the garlic sauce “Toum” in one of your future videos? Keep up the great work!

[@ixchelskyfeather2513]

Ooooh!!! I second that! Please, it would be lovely.🌻

[@jemali98]

Yes please third that!!

Just found your channel and love it! Your mama reminds me of my mama (god bless her soul) and the recipes I’ve found all hit home! listening to your moms arabic makes it even better, bless you and your mother!

[@debbiepalmer1094]

Yum, that looks so delicious especially the close up at the end. It's lovely to watch you and your mom together. x

[@bsnaps5174]

Soooo good. My mom used to make that for us weekly. Thanks for the great video with your lovely mom.

[@kinsaleenglish6554]

Thank you all the way from Kinsale, Ireland, beautiful recipe, can't wait to try

[@mjstecyk]

love it, your mom seems sweet. Love the vegan recipes.

[@celinescrappassion2184]

this looks so delicious! love the relationship you have with your mom... so much love here!

[@ariadnapereztineo8288]

I love watching moms cook because what are measurements to them? 😂 When your mom described the size of a big tomato, she made me think of my grandma, who would never say "add a pinch", she'd say "ponle un sí y un no" (add a yes and a no). This was a very lovely video and you both have such a calming energy! Thank you for your content, Nadia. It made me feel at home.

[@lisaoloughlin6476]

That looks absolutely amazing!!!! Yum yum, lovely to see Mother and daughter, do refreshing!!!

[@rebekahschiferl4324]

Thank you so much for this video 🥰 my mom didn’t teach me how to cook and I absolutely adore you both in the kitchen, just loving each and food together. Warms my heart 💜 Thank you for teaching us all your beautiful recipes! I can’t wait to make this 😊

[@monaa.6148]

Your mom is so cute!! And definitely gonna give it a try😍

[@mariannew5541]

Your recipes make me so happy. I love all the salads and healthy dishes that literally make me want to make everything right now hah

[@henriettealkhouri7432]

You brought warmth and love of a brilliant cuisine that reflects a civilized approach to food.

[@luke28]

Loved this! And I would like all the recepes and tips she is willing to give! Homemade stuff is always best if you ask me!

[@CarmelFan2024]

MashaAllah I just found your channel. Love it and love how you and Mom worked together. ❤️

[@wvjaybird5]

I just found your channel yesterday. I made your cabbage salad, and I’m having it again for lunch. This video for this DELICIOUS looking salad popped up. I want to make this salad for my family. They will love it. You and your mother are delightful, and I am very glad that I found this channel.

[@jamievarni1530]

Enjoyed this. Thank you for making this. Have always loved fattoush.

[@ibnseena]

Excellent Fattoush, one of my favorite salads. Nadia, you are so sweet and smart like your mom. Thank you ( & your lovely mom) for all the tips you shared in this video.

[@User2rd]

I'm coming to this a bit late, but am very glad I found your channel. This video was absolutely excellent! Subscribed.

[@arandolph846]

Wanted to say that we just made this and it is delicious! We are currently working through your recipes doing one every week or two and it is delightful, we love your content! Also, you and your mom are super cute!

[@salleyne7093]

My new favourite salad for summer. Nice and fresh. Will definitely amp up the thyme next time I make. So nice to see the love between you and your mom.

[@richardedward123]

i eat all those ingredients (minus onion) often. never thought about combining them all. Must try. thanks for sharing this lovely recipe.

[@xyx6971]

Yes we want all the traditional palestinian dishes from your mother!!🤩🤩 Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful recipe!

[@tuercacaso]

Wow, I simply never expected excitement as one of the possible outcomes of watching someone make salad (and I adore salad!) but the respect, love, and care that goes into each and every ingredient addition, and the respect, love and care of each other super-charges this! I aspire, I aspire! I will do this as soon as the purslane begins growing (which should be very soon. Quite common wild edible aka weed in Pennsylvania and mostly all over the world.) Love to Mom! She's fab, the "acorn didn't fall far from the tree!"

[@kristiejr8560]

Love this! Used fresh mint and added pomegranate molasses too. Addicted ! Staple in our home. Thank you xxxxx

[@killersister596]

I just found your channel and love your recipes. Will make some of it soon. Your Mama is a beautiful, lovely person and it's a pleasure to see how much love is in your kitchen 💕

[@francescadooley122]

Live for that moment at 10:12 when you and your mom look at each other - that's what good food is all about! This looks beautiful I can't wait to try it myself. Loving your channel.

[@corinacoley458]

Do you have a cookbook out yet! Would love to add it to my collection. I am enjoying your recipes so much and you personality is top notch!

[@MarinaLang1]

Beautiful mom and daughter! Much love from your sudanese sister 🙏🏼

[@gildersleevee]

Double blessing on this one. We get the great salad, and we get to enjoy your mom, and you, interacting in the kitchen together. This is my memories of cooking in my childhood home growing up. All that is missing is the Grandma. Sometimes, our grandmothers leave us too early, and we miss out on the foods they love and could teach us. I was lucky to have my Grandma (MiMi) teach me Some of her recopies, and cooking techniques. Of course, you need to be blessed with a Grandma that is a wonderful cook. I think most are, only one of my grandma's really cooked, but boy oh boy, could she make tasty food. Thanks for this wonderful time you shared with us once again, please do some more of these for us. Cheers from Michigan.

[@BellePolish]

This was so heart warming, so glad I found this video.

[@NadiaGilbert]

Thanks for the love and thanks for watching :)

[@carmensiordia7097]

I want to thank you for sharing this awesome salad and sharing your cultural dishes!💕 I saw this video a couple of years ago and it reposted on my feed recently. I have made this salad many times since you first shared and I have to say it’s one of my favorites! I often make a big bowl for my self and eat the whole bowl while I’m binge watching on TV!😂

[@hasnab012]

MashaAllah. Thank you for this recipe

[@pennypenny376]

This is so sweet-I'm going to make this today. Very excited!

[@pennypenny376]

It was so good, I didn't even care to add a dressing. That never happens! So gooood!

[@lp7931]

Love seeing cooking with moms💛 Purslane is often seen as a weed in my area!

I'm proud to be Palestinian, all day everyday

I really love you and your videos it really hope to see you making more Happy mother's Day to your mama.

I made Fattoush today for just myself and I ate the ENTIRE bowl. It was so lovely, I'm so happy I used your recipe. Thank you for sharing your beautiful recipes with us, and your lovely warmth with your Mama.

God I love your mother, Mashallah she is so amazing. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe.

[@mk4turbojetta]

This salad is a banger! Love your videos

[@TheRealHNA913]

Made this yesterday - it was awesome! I've never been a huge fan of mint as it lacks bite - but it makes an amazing background for the sharper flavours in this, and I'll definitely be using it more in future.

[@leafygirl]

Yes, purslane! I am so excited to try this salad.

[@Bashrashkt]

really amazing dishes especially salads i love it ,,,,, very easy and healthy thanks ,

[@uppityupshaw]

What kind of hater doesn't like a mommy/daughter cooking lesson?! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@azayn2434]

I've made this twice already and it's so good! It also opens up to a lot variations. Today I used napa cabbage along with dark leafy greens instead of arugula and added a little bell pepper and radishes. A little drop of pomegrante molasses in the dressing is real nice too. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

[@marjankrebelj4007]

This is also how we eat it here. The bigger the bowl the better. You have a new subscriber. Much love from Slovenia. :)

[@aastha79]

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for your time😍😍

[@HeatherValentineMsFoodie]

Trader Joe’s carries sumac too💖 you were cracking me up with the thyme 🤣😂

[@freshandzestyfood5033]

I cannot wait to try your Fattoush salad. I'm lucky purslane is a volunteer plant in my garden. I thought it was a weed until I discovered by accident late last year that it was used in salads. Now I add it to my salads. Thank you for the recipe and all the tips on serving this salad.

[@johnenrightjr31]

Purslane is available in many Latin (Mexican) supermarkets. It's called Verdolaga. I made the fattoush for myself, and I can't wait to make it again to share with friends. Thank you for sharing your culture and your cuisine!

[@ilonacsatlos8228]

I love your cooking. I've tried a couple of them aand all my friends are enjoying the palastinian food experience. Keep up the great work. ♥️

[@learnurduwithsara1068]

love listening to Arabic. Love this recipe, will be making it today

[@elsalisa146]

Love that you are giving these recipes verbally ! Just wanted to mention that in California where I live you can usually find purslane in a store that caters to the Latino community.

[@anahidkassabian4471]

It's lovely to see you cooking together...it makes me miss my mom! And purslane--we call it pirpirim in Armenian, and I just planted some too :-)

[@vannakinder352]

There is a lot of armenian influence on some 18th century to 1940 palestinian cuisine. Pre-nakba there used to be about 25,000 armenians in palestine. It is nice to see the two cultures influence each other.

[@jonNH123]

You have a lovely family. Thanks for sharing!

[@rockindylan4]

As someone from Malta, I really enjoyed this video!

[@samaritaDeath]

One of the things that used to drive me mad when mum used to teach me to cook was measurements, a bit of this, a bit of that her usual phrase was always “let your eye be your measure” 🙄 I always add radishes to fattoush and in the dressing I like to add pomegranate molasses

[@arak2551]

Definitely radish. And purslane! Here they used arugula.

[@kirstenschreiber4189]

Yummy! I love fatuoush. Have had it with watermelon too. Outstanding ❤️

[@riyada]

Great Palestinian food shows!! Loving it. Thanks a ton for showing. A toum recipe would be grand. Riyad

[@theyrenihilists]

informative and tasty looking dish. Can never have enough salad recipes.

[@theresamay9481]

Here in Southern California, purslane grows like a weed. We have it in our backyard. It's small, sweet and crunchy.

[@bessycorrales6405]

I will definitely have to make this scrumptious looking salad.

[@khadijahafdi3389]

I love really how you Cook with your mother may allah bless you

[@vcvideo64]

You are gorgeous Love the way you present.So friendly and funny as well. Please upload more recipes

[@shrvd497]

Aunty didn't skimp on the olive oil and sumac :D And we love her for it!!!

[@YAHdozinda]

That looks amazing.....my mom has purslane growing wild in her garden in Portugal....

[@selinab.robinson165]

You can find Za’atar and Sumac in most grocery stores in Toronto. And bulk food stores. Love that stuff!

[@serenakoleno9338]

Purslane is a very common weed here in Michigan. It grows in hot sandy soil and most yards that are organic probably have some. Parking lots and neglected areas as well. Great source of omega 3. Once you find some, you can grow it in flower pot or raised bed.

[@NadinMagdy]

I love fatoush! Can't wait to try this

[@eg9735]

This looks absolutely amazing! Loved seeing you cook with your mommy! I do have a question unrelated to the video: where did you get your top from?

[@georgebaddour]

Superior. Yes. Food is one of the most important factor of culture to any nation. What you are doing is very important to show and teach the world about "Palestine culture".

[@julieb3581]

Love Sumac, it is such an underrated spice. Can't wait to make this salad and YES 100% agree with Mint

[@bgardunia]

This is my favorite episode.

My Lebanese friends make a similar salad and it’s so refreshing and delicious! If lettuce wasn’t $8/ romaine hearts right now, I’d be making it every night for dinner! I LOVE all your recipes!!

[@neyruzAJ]

Hi there Nadia, I just found your videos by chance, and here you have a new subscriber.... Wow, I was somehow disappointed until you mention the purslane, is because back home my mother use a ton of them in the Fattoush and I miss them now, here in the Netherlands.

[@robertedwards9055]

Looks so good!

[@pogmofoil]

I grew up eating panzanella which is similar but I much prefer fattoush. We had purslane growing last summer and it was a fattoush game-changer!
