What it is
'Upside-down': a pot of rice, spiced meat and vegetables — eggplant, cauliflower, potato — flipped at the table into a golden, layered cake. Ingredients: rice, chicken or lamb, eggplant, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, onion, baharat spice, turmeric, cardamom, cumin, oil, toasted almonds and parsley. Recipe: 1) Fry the vegetables until golden; cook the meat in spiced broth. 2) Layer meat, vegetables and rinsed rice in the pot. 3) Pour broth to the rice line; simmer low until done; rest 20 minutes. 4) Place a tray over the pot and flip with confidence — the reveal is the ceremony. Serve: with yogurt and chopped salad. Flavor: warm-spiced, the vegetables caramelised into the rice. History: the dish is centuries old in the Levant; legend links its name to Saladin's cooks in Jerusalem, whose 'upside-down' pot delighted the sultan. See also: Musakhan, Mujaddara.
