My grandmother is Lebanese and what is this? That looks more like Persian food than Arab. Are you sure it's Arab food?

>Kabsa (Arabic: كبسة kabsah) is a family of mixed rice dishes that are served mostly in Jordan and Saudi Arabia — where it is commonly regarded as a national dish in Saudi Arabia. Kabsa, though, is believed to be indigenous to Yemen. In places like Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Iraq and Kuwait the dish is popularly known as machbūs (Arabic: مكبوس), but is served mostly in the same way.

Her cooking was pretty great, yeah, but she spoke only Arabic and Maltese and barely anything else (a little French and a little Italian), didn't know how to read or write in any language beyond signing her own name and had two boys.

Therefore, not only did she never write down any recipe, she had no daughters to pass them to, so when she kicked the bucket in 2012, the family legacy of delicious Leb food ended there. All her sisters are dead, too, and my female second and third cousins can't cook Leb for shit because it's all been bastardised with French/Algerian cuisine, Italian/Egyptian cuisine or Italian/American cuisine.

I don't even know the names of the majority of the foods she cooked or the herbs and spices she used. :-(

Maqluba (sp?), one of the few Palestinian/Leb dishes I know the name of. It's basically a rice casserole. Everything is cooked on the bottom, then rice is put on top and the whole pot is cooked until the rice is done. Then it's cooled down a bit and flipped over onto a plate. The rice and other stuff holds the shape of the pot.

It's pretty popular in NYC, in various Arab guises and as Israeli food (which is pretty much Palestinian with Russian influence).

Lebanese joints usually identify as Mediterranean food, because people of the Levant consider themselves more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern. This is useful in more racist parts of the country. Just look for Mediterranean instead of Middle Eastern and you'll find the Lebanese versions of many Middle Eastern dishes.

The best "Mediterranean" restaurant in NYC is in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (about 30 blocks from me), and while the name is Lebanese the chef is a Palestinian woman. And she's fucking brilliant. Pic related.

My father is half Italian-American and half Lebanese. He is from Brooklyn. I have never lived in Brooklyn and don't know many people on the American side of my family, but I do know they all live in Bensonhurst.
Are Bensonhurst and Bay Ridge near each other and are they very Arab-y parts of Brooklyn/New York in general? My grandmother lived ninety years of her 106 year life, after moving to the US from Malta (though originally from Leb) in Bensonhurst and never learned English, so I always assumed the area had a lot of people that speak Arabic.

I really like Arab food because although some of the meat and rice dishes are heavy, they're always broken up with really bright pickled or fresh vegetables that are really great.

Here's my own contribution to the thread, a dish I've enjoyed with a lot of my Arab friends: ful medames.

It's eaten all over the Arab world, though particularly in Egypt, the Levant, and Saudi Arabia as well as some African nations like Sudan and Djibouti. Fava beans, garlic, olive oil, cumin, and salt are the basic flavors, though there are many variations. I really like it with tahini and eggs or with some harissa and cilantro. It's hard to fuck up beans.

In the pic is an Egyptian variant served with bread, pickled vegetables, and arugula

Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst aren't far apart. Both were big Italian (and to a lesser degree Greek and Lebanese) neighborhoods. Much of Saturday Night Fever was shot on locations in those neighborhoods, so you get the idea of what it was once like.

Recently Bay Ridge has become strongly Middle Eastern along 5th Ave, while Bensonhurst has become increasingly Chinese, as Brooklyn's 8th Ave Chinatown creeps further along the N train line.

Your best bets for hearing Arabic spoken in Brooklyn (aside from practically any corner bodega that isn't run by Koreans or Latinos) would be 5th Ave between 65th and 80th in Bay Ridge, the far western part of Atlantic Ave and the Midwood neighborhood.

I live just over 20 blocks from Bay Ridge, and while many of the local businesses are run by Spanish and Chinese speakers there's still Arabic spoken in a few businesses in my neighborhood.

Because it's pretty one note. The type of Indian that's popular in the west is pretty similar but even then the sheer amount of spices give it some depth. And there's actually a lot of variation in Indian food if you get into it.

It's just basmati rice with vermicelli noodles. I fry the noodles until brown with olive oil then I add drained rice to coat in oil. Then I just put warm water. Idk about ice I never heard of that I just use my senses when I cook. Never measured anything in my life since I'm so use to it. But if you're bad at cooking rice id start with par boiled basmati, it really is hard to fuck up
>>6524243
It's chicken fried in olive oil and coated with five spice and other spices. Then boiled and skimmed fat. Then we add Jewish mallow. Boil it, then fry garlic in olive oil and add when it's done cooking.

I'll posted plated dish as soon as my husband comes home. It's served with lemon juice and finely crushed garlic if desired

You plebs don't know what Middle Eastern food is until you go to a true kebab stand on a street in Kuwait. They cook some meat that might be lamb with a butane torch, shave it with an odd contraption, throw it on a pita with some mayo thats been in the sun since 1972 and you fucking love it.

There are other things to eat, like beans and veg, so it's not permissible to eat pork for them. Actually, anyone that lives near enough a mosque has no reason to eat pork. What do you think zakaat is for? It used to help the destitute, amongst other things.
