Cooking Steps

1
  • Cut the eggplant into 0.5cm thick rounds.
  • Heat a light drizzle of olive oil in a lidded frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant for 4 - 6 minutes from each side, covered with a lid. 
  • Finely chop the onion. In a pot, heat a light drizzle of olive oil over medium high heat and fry the onion for 2 minutes.
2
  • Then add the chicken stock (see pantry for amount) and bring to a boil. Cook the rice in the stock together with the cumin, turmeric, sugar and tomato paste for 12 - 15 minutes. Cover with a lid, stirring occasionally. Generously season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cut the tomato into 1cm thick rounds. 
  • Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the tomatoes on each side for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with half of the za'atar.
3
  • Once the eggplant is done, remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the chicken for 5 – 6 minutes and sprinkle with the middle eastern spice mix. 
  • In the meantime, roughly chop the parsley. 
  • Transfer the yogurt to a small bowl and sprinkle with the rest of the za'atar. Drizzle with some olive oil. 
4
  • Use a bowl or pot and spread the tomato slices on the bottom. Sprinkle with the za'tar, then top with the eggplant slices and finally rice, pressing it down as to create a compact structure. Cover the pot with a plate and turn upside down. 
  • Garnish the Maqluba-style rice with the parsley and shaved almonds. Serve the chicken on top and the za'atar yogurt on the side.
