Het moment waar we allemaal op hebben gewacht: Het recept van dé 'Msmen!’ Deze vierkante pannenkoeken worden overal anders genoemd. De één kent ze als rghaif, de ander weer als rmsemen, lemsemen of de Marokkaanse pannenkoek. Zo kun je het rijtje afgaan maar uiteindelijk komt het allemaal neer op deze heerlijke Marokkaanse pannenkoek waar iedereen zo dol op is. Het is een zachte pannenkoek met duidelijke gedefinieerde lagen en als jij ze nog nooit eerder hebt gemaakt, is het hoog tijd om ze zometeen uit te proberen! Dit recept is ideaal voor beginners of voor de mensen die er moeite mee hebben, want ik heb speciaal voor jullie alles bijgehouden tot in de gram. Msmen/rghaif zijn razend populair in de Marokkaanse keuken en iedereen wilt ze (kunnen) maken. Ze worden vaak gegeten bij het ontbijt, maar zijn ook s’avonds te vinden met een heerlijke kop koffie of glaasje Marokkaanse muntthee. Zo zet je meteen ook een heerlijk Marokkaans sfeertje op. Dit recept vraagt om griesmeel en is echt een must voor de juiste textuur en smaak (gebruik de fijne griesmeel van Supermarkt Tanger). Het is een heerlijk oldskool en authentiek recept en daar houden we natuurlijk van. Met slechts vijf ingrediënten en een ruime werkplek, zijn deze eenvoudige msmen zo gemaakt. In het begin is het altijd even wennen, maar wees niet bang. Iedereen heeft een start moeten maken. Als je ze eenmaal onder de knie krijgt, word je vanzelf een pro! Net zoals je (groot)moeder! #ramadanmubarak

This is a dish you could make vegetarian or omnivore but I chose to make a chicken version of this dish. It's a Palestinian dish called makloubeh (or maklouba, maklube or maqluba) with fragrantly spiced chicken, soft cauliflower, creamy eggplant and aromatic rice all stacked in layers. Cooked upside down so that the rice steams on top of the layers of chicken and vegetables, you simply flip it upside down when ready so that the chicken sits on top and it looks like a rice cake. It is surprisingly easy and designed to impress. Traditionally it is meant to be eaten with the hands with some flat bread. I first tried it in Oman as a prawn makloubeh and it was fantastic with some yogurt dip.

Fatayer or manaeesh are a traditional part of Levantine cuisine, typically served at breakfast alongside a piping hot cup of mint black tea. I have early memories of my mom and aunts preparing these pies in the morning and carrying them down to the community oven in our Palestinian village of Anabta, where they would line up to have them perfectly baked in a taboon (clay oven). These carb-y treats come in many shapes - from flatbreads to little pockets - and are topped or stuffed with zaatar, cheese, meat, veggies or a combo of any of the above. In my home, you will always find freshly baked fatayer on the table for weekend breakfasts.
