Amazing dish and brings great memories. Yummy! Thank you 😊 BOTH.

Your mom is so beautiful

[@masiiharwood6082]

Lovely food, with beautiful mum and daughter ❤ 💕

[@katyaazar1400]

Thank you so much for sharing authentic Palestinian food. This is one of my favourite dishes my mum always used to make. 🥰🥰🥰

[@sendian41]

look good yet it is not musahkan,the original authentic one goes like that: after caramelizing the onion you add them to a huge amount of olive oil. the chicken you cook it before, then take it to the oven, when everything is ready you take a bread dipped it totally in Chicken broth then immediately to the olive oil onion, you put the soaked bread on a tray then take mount of onion from the olive onion spread it over the bread then you add the sumac and other nuts you like, the chicken we put it over the top of bread mountain when you serve it...very heavy food but we eat it once or twice a year after The olive picking season is over.

[@blanchetv]

Thanks Sana! Yes I streamlined it so it is much faster to make for the busy home cook--with much less oil. As Americans do more driving than olive harvesting they can save on the calories lol! Thanks for sharing your method!

[@mickyangel77]

You both SHINE!!!

[@blanchetv]

Thank you for your support Miguel, you are in the credits again my friend! ;)

Thank you for Reading our comments to your mother.😘😍♥️😄

[@celestemoore3959]

You resemble your mom. Your mom looks great! That's a beautiful thing--in the kitchen cooking with mom. . . treasure the moment. THAT LOOKS LIKE A SCRUMPTIOUS RECIPE! 🎉 Celeste, in the ATL 💐

[@danijelakelava6602]

Thank you, dear blanche.😘😍❤️😄♥️

[@kjh5475]

This is so good and simple, I've made it twice this week! I wasn't able to find sumac so I subbed a bit more lemon juice and it was still fantastic. I ordered some sumac online and it arrived today so I'll make it with the authentic ingredients next time. Your garlicky turmeric rice is simmering on my stove as we speak!

[@blanchetv]

Fabulous! Can't wait for you to try it with the sumac, it will bring it to another level ;) Thanks for trying out the recipes!

[@651gunny2]

Looks good can't wait to try it. Too bad I have to make it myself.

[@blanchetv]

You can do it! ;)

[@halakhaderhp]

Can't wait to make, all my Palestinian friends will be surprised!! Delicious

[@toonezon4836]

Lemon juice on the cutting board also helps prevent tears when cutting onions

[@jefflaplante3938]

love your recipes!

[@fatimagora6777]

Love it !! so easy and yummy. Tried sumac for the first time a few weeks back. Thanks Vera for sharing your cooking tips. Love you guys can't wait for next recipe ❤👌👌

Thank you beautiful ladies..San Diego Ca.

[@deborahrabadi3883]

so glad you made it short and sweet because i have a very short attention span. I am going to try this, it is easier than what i have been doing. I just wish you would wear an apron because i worry about you getting your clothes stained. If i wore a solid dress like your moms It would end up being a mess!

[@nadiarefiat8511]

Thank you for sharing your recipes 🌹🌺🌼💕❤️❤️👏

[@meh4168]

I will make this tomorrow since I have all the ingredients! awesome. Good to see your mom again! :-) I would add yogurt as a side with mint! OMG I'm drooling now. Stop me !

[@blanchetv]

LOL Drool on man it's ok, hope you love it!

[@internationalcuisines]

it looks fantastic thank you very much 😍

[@smallfry7743]

Awesome new video... From an American, non-Middle Eastern person's point of view...This style/taste of this food is excellent... I suspect as more Americans are exposed to this type of food, it's demand and popularity will continue to grow.

[@Salam.aboumediene1]

You are amazing could you please make Hummus and mutable eggplants. A lot of my friends American requesting it

[@CherylKCherylsHomeCookingshow]

Of course I call her mom ;) I like to introduce her to the audience so they could all know her first name, I will pass your compliment on to her ;)

[@traceymartin35]

blanchetv I know she's mom but she's very pretty and she and I are from the same age group and she has collected her years well

[@varaj52]

Thank you that is very kind of you,. I guess the mediterranean diet maybe has something to do with it.

Yummy yummy one of my favorite dish💕♥️🤗🤗

[@mutasemal-khateeb613]

هذا ليس مسخن .

[@sarahha6523]

whats their ethnic background? Palestinian or Lebanese?

[@blanchetv]

Palestinian

[@dhammratna83]

I am fm India, here finding Sumac is not easy and if found in metropolitan it's cost is equal to Saffron (Kesar in Hindi) though we grow Saffron in India (indigenous to Kashmir region only) & sumac is totally imported. One is costly bcoz it's mostly exported out & another is costly bcoz it's totally imported.

[@blanchetv]

Try ordering real Palestinian saffron--my favorite of all time. They are based in a 400 year old spice shop in Jerusalem and I think they ship globally, though shipping time varies: www.seaofherbs.com

[@dhammratna83]

@@blanchetv thanks Blanch,🤝

[@sq9119]

Thank you for the recipe - loved it and cannot wait to try it out your way...Just have a question do you know anybody who has gastric issues and must stay away from acidic things ...can they enjoy this dish...since lemons are a main part of the marinade, wondered if cooking reduces the acidity and would still be suitable for those with gastritis etc (normally they cannot have tomatoes/fruit/vinegars/lemons). Your help would be appreciated !

[@blanchetv]

You can eliminate the lemon juice all together if you want, as the sumac imparts a lemony flavor on its own. Hope that helps!

[@einfachleckerkochenmitTom]

yummy great dish, many thanks my dear your video looks wonderful is a great work.. best wishes from Tom from Amsterdam ;) manKocht essBar & lecker

You're very welcome.

Which spices they named like old spices?

[@blanchetv]

It is called Allspice. It is just one spice, the allspice berry,

[@shazadeeb2986]

yummmmmmmy

[@daniels.4769]

What if I don’t have all spice?? What can I use?

[@blanchetv]

Daniel Szeto an equal amount of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

[@happinessismommade_]

Wow

[@princessme7086]

Thank u for this video, cant wait to make it!

[@2and26]

My Auntie Goram, God rest her soul, used to make this with tahboon. She used chicken quarters. It seeped with oil…we would eat it primarily in the winter and nearly die of heart attack.

[@blanchetv]

Lol what a story! Yes the older generation loves to soak everything with so much oil, I use a fraction of that amount as I want to fit into my clothes the next day haha.

[@2and26]

@@blanchetv I faintly remember your mother mention she is from Bethlehem. My husband is from, Jerusalem, Beit Hanina to be exact. His family is originally from Karak (Masannat, Al-Sunna families). He has some family in Nablus (Auntie Samira). I enjoy watching the videos you have made; they certainly help complete the picture of the "missed" ingredients my Auntie left out....lolll. Do you have a video of Manseff? Kanafeh?

[@blanchetv]

@@2and26 so cool! Yes hope to fill in any blanks! We do not have a video on Mansaf, but we have a kunafa one coming out this fall. 👍

Great video but I think you spilled mosakhan incorrectly in Arabic

If I did can you show me the correct spelling? Forgive me my written Arabic is not so good ;)

[@Cym43]

How much sumac and salt in the onions?????

[@blanchetv]

Salt to taste, and 1 tablespoon of Sumac--you can add more or less based on your preference, no wrong way to do it ;)

[@mayajsmin1738]

I don't think garlic comes anywhere in the original Musakhan recipe..

[@blanchetv]

I think it wouldn't be as flavorful without it, we love garlic in our family. Great thing about recipes, is that it is an art, there is no right or wrong answer, and you can add or subtract whatever you wish to suit your own taste ;)

[@mayajsmin1738]

Well, then I think it is worthwhile mentioning that it is a personal choice, because if we are trying to preserve some of our traditional dishes, then we need to tell our audience that we are improvising. Thank you for giving a nice image about Palestinians :)

[@blanchetv]

maya Jsmin my husband is from An Arrick, where this dish originated. I learned from the source, and they used garlic. I am sure there are people that don't make it with garlic too.
