Musakhan

Musakhan is a Palestinian dish composed of roasted chicken baked with onions, sumac, allspice, saffron, and pine nuts, served over taboon bread. It is considered one of the national dishes of Palestine. The dish is known for its rich, savory flavors and the vibrant color imparted by the sumac.

The name "Musakhan" translates roughly to "heated" or "warmed," referring to the method of preparing the bread. The taboon bread is often baked in a special oven called a taboon, although other types of flatbread can be used.

Musakhan is commonly eaten with bare hands. It is often prepared for special occasions, family gatherings, and celebrations. The specific ingredients and preparations can vary slightly from region to region within Palestine.

The dish has gained popularity outside of Palestine and is now enjoyed in many parts of the world, often found in Middle Eastern restaurants. Its relative simplicity and readily available ingredients contribute to its widespread appeal.
