If you’ve ever wanted to experience the authentic flavors of the Middle East, Maqluba is the perfect dish to start with. This traditional one-pot meal layers rice, chicken, eggplant, potatoes, and tomatoes, all cooked slowly to absorb rich spices like cumin, cinnamon, and cardamom. The name “Maqluba” means upside down — and that’s exactly how it’s served! Once cooked, the pot is flipped onto a large plate, revealing a stunning arrangement of vegetables and rice.
There are many versions of Maqluba across Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, but the heart of the dish remains the same — it’s comforting, flavorful, and deeply cultural. On MyRecipeify, I’ve shared the full step-by-step guide to help you make authentic Maqluba easily at home, even if it’s your first time trying Middle Eastern food.
Whether you make it with chicken or lamb, Maqluba brings together the warmth of spices and the richness of family tradition in every bite. Serve it with a fresh salad or yogurt for a complete meal that’s both festive and satisfying.
