Slovenia your videos . Your editing is great . It keeps you short and sweet ! 😘👍🇨🇦

[@georgiaspencer542]

I would mix the chicken, onions and nuts all together and save a LOT of time and work! Looks so yummy!

[@dsjoyful14ever]

Hi Dimitra. I just absolutely love your recipes. You are a very talented and creative cook and your dishes look scrumptious. I can't wait to try this recipe. My favorite food is Greek/Mediterranean and I just bought a 500 color page recipe book on the Mediterranean diet that I can't wait to dive into. You are a lovely person inside and outside with so many talents and your family is just beautiful. Your husband is one blessed man to have you for his wife and your children are blessed that you are their mother. Keep those Mediterranean recipes coming and I will love to try what you have already posted on your channel as well as future dishes. PS: I love Hummus and Tziki sauce and Tahini on everything. Thank you for the wonderful woman you are and for the fantastic dishes you create with such simplicity yet creative style.

[@DimitrasDishes]

Thanks!! I'll teach hummus very soon :)

[@yuliaberezina1752]

This girl made me enjoy cooking ❤

[@fayhus1]

I likoe your recipes specially the Greek, actually the Greek food is similar to the Palestinian food. Musakhan is a traditional Palestinian food, onions cooked totally with olive oil and spread on special kind of bread then top the bread with the cooked chicken and broiled one bread at a time or two. SO good.

[@rubinaislam1]

I have also seen recipes of Musakhan where the flat bread is soaked with chicken stock and then you put the onion and chicken and broil it.

[@terrypogue]

Wonderful. After watching this video i have made this two times for us and one for a party. For the party we used pita pockets. A great hit. I love sumac and i also love having the leftover onion infused olive oil in the fridge to use for other things.my EXVirgin olive oil is fro Nudo in Italy. We love it. I have adopted a tree in a grove every year for many years now and they send me all the produce from my” tree.

[@elizabethc.z]

I made these rolls tonight and they were absolutely delicious!! Making musakhan in phyllo and using the onions' oil to brush on the rolls is perfect! Can't rave enough about this recipe! Thank you Dimitra! I hope you and your family are recovering from Hurricane Harvey. My thoughts and prayers go out to you!

[@DimitrasDishes]

So glad you enjoyed them! We are doing well. Thanks for asking :) My house is finally beginning to look like a home. Can't wait to move back in and start my videos again! All the best!

[@mariammneimneh229]

This is a Palestinian recipe...usually we make is with a big flat bread with whole chicken...good job

[@KingCarlofcarlWorld]

I made this using egg roll wrappers in the air fryer. Really good! The onion-infused oil is pure magic.

[@modernmozart813]

[@barbaramulik9617]

Everything what do you cook how do you explain how you show it I try many of you cuisine it’s easy to make and delicious love you Dimitra❤😊

[@gorgeouss79]

My mom and dad always made this with homemade bread (circular size, about 1/3” thick and 8-10” round). The chicken was bone-in and roasted, and sat on top of the bread. This is the new (faster/easier) method: rolling the chicken up in filo dough.

[@jonrussell8519]

Sumac is a plant that's Native American. It's sad that people here don't know about it but people halfway around the world use it all the time. Let's start using foods Native to the Americas like sumac, soursop, dragon fruit, guava, wild rice, etc.

[@mariehodgeman6563]

Sumac where have you been all my life!

[@elizabethc.z]

Wow my mouth started watering when you cut into the rolls! I'm definitely making this recipe!

[@sanaashehata1378]

[@cyndiburkhart3619]

I gather and process my own Sumac berries. That way I don't have the bitterness from the ground seeds inside. The stuff you get from the store is the whole berry/seed ground together.

[@rubinaislam1]

Where do gather the berries from?

[@rosearabian3844]

Delish soo good thanks

[@SM-ys3iv]

Thank you so much I will make it ! Love the way you explain . Where are you living in U.S.A? Or Greece?

Yes, they freeze beautifully. I always freeze them before they're baked :)

[@cyndiburkhart3619]

Ok, you use cardamom pods... Can you use peppermint or spearmint leaves instead?

[@DimitrasDishes]

I've never tried that. Let me know how it turns out :)

[@itsteta6191]

This is Musakhan from the Palestinian cuisine. And yes, you spelled it right.
