Sumakiyyah (Palestinian Sumac Stew, aka Sumaghiyyeh)

Описание: https://buymeacoffee.com/azlinbloor
Sumakiyyah, or Sumaghiyyeh, is an old, rustic stew synonymous with Gaza in Palestine. Every mouthful is a symphony of flavours with tangy, meaty and earthy flavours, with a pleasant hint of bitter (from the chard), nutty and finally, spicy and a little garlicky.

This glorious Palestinian recipe is a dish for celebrations, despite its rather humble appearance. You’ll find it on the Eid and Christmas table, as well as at birthdays, weddings and funerals. It rather reminds me of the Pakistani Haleem, which itself is a descendant of the Arabic dish Harisa. Interestingly, the first written record of harisa was also in Kitabh al Tabikh.
