About Makloubi

Makloubi, also known as "Maqluba," is a traditional Middle Eastern dish, particularly popular in Palestinian and Jordanian cuisine. The name translates to "upside down," reflecting the way the dish is served—flipped over after cooking to reveal layers of rice, vegetables, and meat. Typical ingredients include chicken or lamb, spiced rice, and vegetables such as eggplant, cauliflower, and potatoes. The dish is flavored with aromatic spices like allspice, cinnamon, and cardamom. Makloubi offers a balanced source of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber due to its combination of rice, lean meats, and vegetables. However, the health factor depends on how it is prepared; fried vegetables or excessive oil may increase calorie content. Opting for lightly roasted vegetables and lean cuts of meat can make this dish a wholesome option packed with essential nutrients, antioxidants, and energy. It's a hearty, versatile meal enjoyed by families for generations.
