SERVES 4
Mousakhkhan is a popular dish in Palestine, where it is served in various shapes. Here, the sumac-flavored chicken has been rolled in flat bread.
1 CHICKEN (1 LB/450 G)
2 BAY LEAVES
1 CINNAMON STICK
1 LEEK
5 TABLESPOONS OLIVE OIL
2 CUPS (300 G) THINLY SLICED YELLOW ONION
3 tablespoons sumac
2 MARKOUK BREADS, LIBA BREAD, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF FLAT BREAD
1. Place the chicken in a large pot and cover it with water. Add the bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and leek (that has been cut into pieces). Boil for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked. Skim off the skin. Chop chicken.
2. Remove the bones from the chicken and place the meat aside for now.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan and add the onion. Allow it to get some color, then add the sumac. Stir well so that the onions will taste like sumac.
4. Cut the bread into ten triangles. Cut the chicken into small pieces and spread some chicken pieces and the onion mixture over each triangle, and roll them up. Place the rolls on the bottom of an ovenproof dish and brush with the remaining oil.
5. Place the dish in the oven at 400F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until the bread is crispy.
6. Eat with your hands.
