My family always made this with cinnamon. Can't imagine it without that.
Cinnamon and rice such a nice combination. But does your family also made this rice with vermicelli? I love cinnamon in rice, but have never tried it when also using vermicelli (somehow can't imagine that combination). But if this is how your family likes it, I'm curious to try it 😊
@welcome2jordan We sure do! The recipe is virtually identical except for the cinnamon.
Nice
Thank you 😊

Great channel, I am happy to be your 400th subscriber!
Thank you so much 🤗🤗
Hello Kitty , liked the dish you cooked but being from India ...i guess it's missing some twists 😊( if you have access to any Indian grocery store) get a packet of " Meat Masala" & " Sahi Garam Masala" Post cutting the meat, just use a tea spoon of the meat masala + little curd to marinate , 15-30mins max Then cook the way you do , just add half a teaspoon of "Sahi Garam Masala" just before you take this cooking pot off the oven/cooktop Give it a try , let me know.... happy cooking 🎉
Hello Sanjay! Thanks a lot for your suggestion 🤗 I can imagine that from an Indian perspective this dish will be very plain haha. Indian food has many more spices in variation and quantity. When I cook fasolia for just myself, I sometimes add turmeric (haldi) and Seven Spice (similar to garam masala) as well, but the "traditional" version doesn't have them (just my preference). Many greetings to India (I loved the food when I visited India😍)
Great to know your taste for Indian food ... completely understand & respect the traditional - authentic approach to the dish .. loved it anyways ... Being wickedly Indian ... Will Add in some twist😂😂 BTW next time you are in India , buzz me ( send me a heads-up in my email) Will send you the most crucial list of spices u must have in your kitchen to make the Magic Happen Everyday ... 🎉🎉🎉 TC & Happy Cooking 🎉🎉🎉
Hello 😊 any reasons why tomato paste is used , instead of fresh tomatoes ? Just curious.... Tnx
That's a really good question. For traditional fasolia most people generally prefer tomato paste as a base. It's said to create more depth and a better texture for this sauce, although I think this can be achieved with fresh and fully ripe tomatoes as well.
One of my favorite way of serving rice👍
Yeaa, it's soo good right? 😍
Look nice will try it.
Thank you! Happy cooking 🤗
Rice looks so good. Do you use chicken stock cube?
Thank you 🤗 Yes, I use chicken stock cube. But it also works with veggie stock cubes for vegetarians.
I will try it ...looks tasty and above all easy to make . Thank you for the nice video
Thanks so much for your feedback. Yes, it's very easy to make. Happy cooking! Feel free to let me know how it turns out 🤗
This is typical Greek chicken style oven... I was in Greece 🇬🇷 for holidays and I had this type of oven chicken. Thank you for the nice video
Happy to hear you had this yummy dish in Greece! 😊 I believe Greeks use a different marinade though, and probably more lemon, as Za'atar is Middle Eastern. I think all versions of this dish are soo delicious 😍
@welcome2jordan yes you are right now that you say in Greece it was more lemon taste
This is one of my daughter favourite rice. I tried making it once. It turned out okay. After watching your video, I can see what I didn't do. Thanks, I am going to make this rice and one of your dishes when she comes home for the holidays.
I'm glad this video helped you. Hopefully the rice will turn out wonderfully next time you make it for your daughter. 🤗

@welcome2jordan ،
Wow! I'm definitely going to try this. I've always used the “Boil in the bag” method for convenience and laziness 😊 My loose rice never made it to the favorites list. Thank you for making this look super easy and delicious. Will update once I make this.
Hi Angie! It's definitely worth the effort and once you know some basic rules (like the rice-water ratio and heat I explain in the video), it's actually very easy :) I must say "boil in the bag" rice isn't too bad either, but it's a bit more expensive & it's always plain. Happy cooking and let me know how it turned out for you 🤗
excellent - wonderfully clear instructions! thanks!!!
Thank you for the great comment and feedback. Highly appreciated 🤗
Fantastic video, Welcome2Jordan. Eager to see your next upload from you. I smashed the thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the wonderful work. The use of zaatar in the marinade sounds intriguing-how do you think it enhances the overall flavor profile compared to traditional seasonings?
Thanks a lot for your great feedback, I appreciate that 🤗 To answer your question on Za'atar: Za'atar is a popular Middle Eastern spice blend which has mainly dried thyme and oregano, sumac and sesame, which also make for a slightly nutty and acidic flavor profile. That pairs very nicely with the marinade, the chicken and potatoes. There are really many many ways to make this dish, so of course, you could take other seasonings too.
Do you like those easy sheet pan dishes? I'd love to hear from you 🤗 Recipe requests? Let me know in the comments what recipe you'd like to see next 🍽

What are the condements eaten with falafal etc.
You can serve it with a lot of different sides. Of course the famous hummus (I've a video for this recipe on my channel) or tahini sauce (I also have a recipe video for that). In the Middle East, you'll also find fresh mint, pickles (pickled cucumber and pickled turnips), raw onion and some times other mezze like ful on the table. It all depends when it's served, how many people are there etc. And of course, don't forget the bread :) So if you want to make falafel for a large group, you can serve a lot of things alongside (omelets, beans, vegetables...). If you want to make a tasty falafel just for yourself, you can serve with bread, some hummus or tahini sauce, and if you like some pickles or other raw vegetables/herbs. Happy cooking :)
Good old Turkish staple snd pilav off course … I did not know Lebanese adopted it……?🤣🤣
Hello :) Yess true, I have eaten it many times in some of my Turkish friends homes too. It's a very popular dish in many countries. The Lebanese vs. Turkish version is a bit different though.
Have you ever heard about Fasolia or tasted it before? I'm curious! 🤗 Recipe requests? Let me know in the comments what recipe you'd like to see next 🍽
Looks delicious. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you so much ♥
After I cut it, I drank the juice of the chunks as it created its juices naturally, but how long does it last the fridge?
That great! Cut watermelon and watermelon juice last in the fridge for about 3-4 days. From my experience, the taste fades away the longer you store it. I try to eat/drink mine within 1-2 days after preparing it so that it still tastes fresh and sweet ☺
Ok, thanks! I had a big one & it’s only me to eat it, & I was trying to make the juice last longer than it should in a mason jar 😅
You can put Watermelon 🍉, in the Freezer For 4-5 Days.
@@WildOne21-ku9hd Thanks for your comment :) Yes, in the freezer it lasts longer than in the fridge (can be frozen a few months actually). 🤗
