A hearty Middle Eastern dish consisting of tender slices of lamb cooked in a flavorful yogurt broth, served atop a bed of rice and garnished with fried pita chunks, almonds, and pine nuts. The rich, aromatic stew boasts layers of savory and tangy notes, with a harmonious blend of spices like allspice, clove, and cumin. The dish, known as Mansaf, is the national dish of Jordan and showcases the vibrant flavors of the region's cuisine. The presentation on a patterned plate adds to the authentic and inviting appeal of this culinary delight.

Authentic Jordanian Mansaf at Tanoreen in Brooklyn

At Tanoreen in #Brooklyn last night I was taken on a culinary journey to the Middle East. For the main course I had Mansaf -- which I fondly remember eating in #Jordan, where it is the national dish. The meal features tender slices of lamb cooked in a fermented dried yogurt (jameed) broth, rice, fried chunks of pita, almonds and pine nuts. The flavors are enhanced by spices like allspice, clove, and cumin.
