Jordanian cuisine
Hi,
When living abroad, tasting the local cuisine is part of discovering the country.
What is your favorite food in Jordan?
What is the local speciality?
Share with us the local tastes of Jordan and why not your best recipe.
Thank you in advance,
Priscilla
I have several favorites but the top 3 are:
kibbeh: burghul balls filled with meat and pine nuts
malfoof: stuffed cabbage leaves
waraq di wali: stuffed vine leaves
Another two additions in my top 3 areÂ
fattoush: a delicious salad with a topping of small pieces crunchy bread
The dressing is oh so delightful when all the flavors are coming together and in balance. I can eat the whole bowl...
fatayer: bread triangles filled with spinach and served with lots of lemon. my favorite snack of all!
Hi ,
The local speciality in Jordan is The Mansaf , which is a stew of meat cooked in a kind of (yogurt ) then all is decorated above a large plate of rice .. extremely delicious .. I know how to serve it but don't know how Jordanian people make it !
I have to admit: that mansef looks stunning.
Not like what I use to see.
If I get this in front of me, I will eat. And that says a lot.
Kunafah! Especially the coarse variety (khishnah).
Nah.... I go for the Ramadan treat the qataifÂ
Its goes so far that at the end of the Ramadan I buy as much as I can, fill them and freeze it...
Like to fill them with walnuts, raisins, shredded coconut and cinnamon or cheese with cinnamon
Of with thick cream and pistachio
With variety you choose, you have to drizzle (!) them with sugar syrup with orange blossom water.
For me these are the best Arabic sweets.

There are always places selling Katayef all year round, so we fill the fridge rather with Dawali...
Hi...my favourite food here in jordan is "Mansaf" n for the first time I tasted Kataeif "Ramadan sweets"I like them as well
My local speciality..."ugali"
Thank u

Oh my, how delicious... I am differently visiting Jordan soon
Mansaf is the best, It's alot of work as I heard, not many know how to make it, If you wish to try the real Mansaf for the first time, Please make sure you try it from a real Jordanian restaurant with Jordanian chef, Otherwise you may be disappointed if you have from different restaurant.
bon appetit Â
