Instructions for Palestinian Maftool Recipe:

1. Saute onions and garlic with olive oil on medium to high heat, about 5 minutes
2. Add chicken with onions and garlic and saute until chicken is golden brown.Keep flipping chicken so it does not burn.
3. Add in half the spices while sauteing chicken to give chicken flavor.
4.Once chicken has been sauteing for about 10-15 minutes, add in hot water along with the rest of the spices.
5. Cover chicken broth and let it cook for about 30 minutes
6. Remove chicken from broth and set aside to broil in oven later to make crispy.
7. Add tomato paste to broth and whisk until paste has melted into broth.
8.Add in garbanzo beans(chick peas) to broth and let it boil for a few minutes to combine together.

Instructions to make Maftool:
1. On medium to high heat, saute maftool in olive oil until maftool is golden brown.
2. Once maftool is golden brown, add hot water and chicken bouillon. Only add enough water to cover maftoul.
3. On high heat, with lid off, cook maftool until it starts to boil. Once maftool starts to boil, turn on low heat and cover until fully cooked.


To serve, on a platter first add maftool, then add chicken tomato broth, and top off with broiled chicken and some garbanzo beans. I garnished with parsley as well!
Enjoy!

Notes:
*Maftool cooks in about 20 minutes but taste it to know for sure. It will taste like paste, "al dente"

Only add in enough water to cover maftool when cooking.

*Make sure maftool is on high heat to boil and then turn it to low

Dont forget to broil chicken to give it color and crispiness.
