But in essence, same recipe. Onions and some kind of meat are the main components.

Obi, I’m in the middle of preparing this for dinner right now, and I want you to know that my entire house smells amazing! Seriously, if you could develop a candle fragrance capturing “Egyptian pot kebab”, you’d be a millionaire. Once again, a simple recipe using humble ingredients brings us back to childhood and reminds us of where we came from. Also, even though this recipe has only a handful of ingredients, the gravy is much more sophisticated than I expected and has depth of flavor - and I’m only at the halfway mark. I’m even making the simple pasta side dish with homemade possata. Thank you for another recipe perfect for fall, rainy days, or days when you want to eat something that will warm you without a lot of effort (or dishes to clean).

I've never encountered a Middle Eastern pasta dish here in America. Of course then I realized, couscous is basically pasta, and Italy is *right there*. Obviously Egypt would have at least one pasta dish that seems vaguely Italian, just like all the other neighbors!

In Flanders we add a heavy dark beer, thyme and laurel and maybe some dried prunes, and also marinate the meat in mustard beforehand. Some regions even add a piece of chocolate or slice of gingerbread I think. It's stewed for 2-3 hours, preferably left overnight for the flavors to fully develop, and reheated the next day. It goes great with fries.

@nelnaggar

In Egypt, kebab is usually meat cut into a cubic shape like stew meat. It doesn't matter how it's prepared. This dish is called kebab-halla where "halla" is the Arabic word for pot. The kebab you are referring to is actually called shish-kebab where shish means skewer. I forgot in what language. It could be in Turkish or Persian.
@MiddleEats
Жыл бұрын
You're right, kebabs usually are. It's one of the oddities of the name. One reason why this might be called that; is that grilled kebabs need expensive and tender cuts of meat to come out delicious. For some families, that can be too burdensome. This meal is cut into large pieces to give you the feeling of eating Kebab, but because it's stewed, you can use tougher/cheaper pieces of meat. Also, a lot of Egyptian grills are served in sandwiches with Tahini sauce. If this was served the same way (not that I've ever seen anyone do that), then it probably wouldn't be so different.

In the Egyptian kebab recipe, the skewers are soaked for a short time in onion water before grilling, and since this dish contains a lot of onions and its flavor, this makes its taste very close to the taste of Egyptian grilled kebabs. Maybe that's why it's called a pot kebab

You can use stock if you want, but the flavor is already there, seeing it's just meat and onions, so it's not gonna make much of a difference. The added water is just to keep it from drying out, you're not making a soup out of it, so preparing stock is mostly wasted effort. If you happen to have stock at hand already, then sure go for it, but it's really not necessary to prepare it just to keep the stew hydrated.
